Easier Access to Free School Meals for Military Families by Excluding Housing Pay.
This bill aims to make it easier for children of uniformed service members to qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.

Furthermore, the government must study implementing a system for automatically certifying these children for meals without requiring separate applications.
