This act introduces new ways to provide meals to children during the summer when schools are closed, ensuring access to food. It includes electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards for food and options for off-site meal consumption, aiming to help families in rural areas or where traditional meal sites are hard to reach.
Key points
Introduction of electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards valued at $30 per child per month, usable for food purchases at approved retail stores, for eligible low-income households.
Option for off-site meal consumption, especially for children in rural areas or locations with limited access to traditional meal sites.
Changes aim to increase participation in summer meal programs, improve child nutrition, and reduce food insecurity during the summer period.
