Updated: Apr 10, 2025
Summary
This legislation, titled the Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025, seeks to bolster the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) by increasing federal reimbursements for meals and supplements. It achieves this by amending the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, aiming to provide greater financial support for nutrition services in various care settings. A key provision introduces an additional reimbursement of 10 cents for every meal and supplement served under the CACFP, with this amount subject to annual inflation adjustments. This enhanced funding will be applied broadly across the program, including to meals and supplements provided by family or group day care home sponsoring organizations , and will take effect the first month after the bill's enactment.
