CIB: US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Demonstration Project to Test Using Medicaid Enrollment to Qualify Children for Free and Reduced Price School Meals

Medicaid.gov

Today the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released an Informational Bulletin explaining a new demonstration project to evaluate the impact of direct certification for both free and reduced price school meals. The new demonstrations will evaluate the potential of direct certification to enroll new children, certify currently enrolled children, and impact participation in the school lunch and breakfast programs. On January 27, 2016, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) issued a Request for Applications inviting state agencies that administer school meal programs to participate in the new demonstration project.

The Informational Bulletin is available on Medicaid.gov at https://www.medicaid.gov/federal-policy-guidance/federal-policy-guidance.html.
