Lets kids in long daycare get more meals, simplifies food program rules, and cuts paperwork for centers and families.
This bill would allow children in extended daycare to receive reimbursement for an extra meal or snack. It would also make the rules for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) clearer and reduce paperwork for centers and families who use or run these programs.
Today, children in extended child care are limited to reimbursement for two meals and one snack, or one meal and two snacks. The rules for handling serious problems in food programs are not always clear, and there isn't a dedicated committee to reduce paperwork. After this bill, children in care for 8 or more hours would be eligible for reimbursement for an extra meal or snack, the government would create clearer and fairer rules for serious deficiencies, and an advisory committee would work to reduce paperwork for all participants.
