Bill overview
The School Hunger Elimination Act of 2021 aims to reduce childhood hunger by improving the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. It primarily expands the use of ‘direct certification,’ automatically enrolling more low-income students in free or reduced-price meals without requiring individual applications. The bill also addresses retroactive reimbursement for meal claims, ensures data sharing between Social Security and schools, and establishes demonstration projects for universal free school meals in high-poverty areas.
