S 4822 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State to reimburse federally unreimbursed costs of snacks provided to children at certain preschools; appropriates $100,000.

This bill creates a program to reimburse New Jersey public preschools for the cost of free snacks they provide to all enrolled children while waiting for federal approval to participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). It appropriates $100,000 to fund the Preschool Snack Reimbursement Grant Program, which would cover costs incurred during the period when preschools have applied for but not yet received federal CACFP approval. The program would help preschools avoid paying for snacks out of their own budgets while awaiting federal approval, as federal reimbursement is not available during the application period. This applies specifically to public preschools that serve free snacks to all enrolled children, regardless of whether those children would qualify for federal free or reduced-price snacks.
