This bill increases federal reimbursement rates for meals and snacks served through the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which provides nutrition assistance at child care centers, family child care homes, and similar facilities. Starting the month after the bill becomes law, the program would provide an additional 10 cents per meal and supplement served, with this amount adjusted annually for inflation. The bill affects child care providers, sponsoring organizations that support family and group day care homes, and the low-income families whose children participate in these nutrition programs. The legislation modifies how reimbursement rates are calculated to ensure the additional payment is included consistently across all facility types and payment structures. No specific authorization of appropriations is mentioned, as the increase would be funded through existing program mechanisms.
