Bill overview
The School Hunger Elimination Act of 2019 aims to reduce childhood hunger by improving the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. It primarily focuses on streamlining the process of identifying eligible students for free and reduced-price meals through mandatory direct certification, ensuring that low-income children automatically qualify. The bill also addresses retroactive reimbursement for eligible students and expands universal meal service in high-poverty areas, as well as incorporates universal Medicaid direct certification to further simplify access to these programs.
