Bill information
Summary
To amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to expand the summer electronic benefits transfer for children program to include benefit transfer during school closures, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The Stop Child Hunger Act of 2023 would expand a federal program that provides electronic benefits to buy food during summer school breaks. The bill would extend these benefits to cover additional times when schools close, beyond just summer vacation. This affects children who rely on school meals during the academic year. The program works like a debit card for groceries rather than paper vouchers. The bill was introduced in the House and is currently awaiting review.
