Constance C. McDaniel Medically Necessary Infant Formula and Donor Milk Act
This bill, titled the Constance C. McDaniel Medically Necessary Infant Formula and Donor Milk Act, directs the Department of Health and Human Services to create a three-year pilot program that provides financial assistance to eligible parents for purchasing infant formula or donor milk. To receive aid, parents must have a child under one year old who cannot breastfeed due to specific medical conditions, such as maternal illness, adoption, or infant digestive issues, and must not already qualify for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. The program offers flexible funding methods like vouchers or reimbursements and requires the government to evaluate its effectiveness annually while reporting results to Congress. The initiative is authorized for a total of $60 million over four fiscal years and will end three years after the law is enacted.
