Bill overview
The Stop Child Hunger Act of 2021 aims to establish a permanent program to provide assistance to children facing food insecurity during extended school closures. It would create a system where eligible families receive electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards, allowing them to purchase food from approved retailers under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. This program would be triggered when schools are closed for five or more consecutive weekdays, ensuring children have access to meals during these periods.
