School Meals for Healthy Kids Act of 2025
This bill codifies existing practices for school meal programs under the National School Lunch Act. It allows states to continue using Medicaid data to automatically certify children for free or reduced-price school meals beyond the 2024 school year, maintaining current eligibility conditions. It also establishes a fixed 1.6 multiplier for determining school eligibility under the community eligibility provision, replacing prior variable calculations. The bill directly affects public schools and low-income children participating in federal meal programs, ensuring continuity of current certification and eligibility rules without introducing new benefits or funding.
