Healthy Meals Help Kids Learn Act of 2025
This bill increases federal funding for school meal programs by adding 45 cents per lunch and 28 cents per breakfast served by school food authorities, effective November 1, 2025. The additional reimbursement applies to all meals served, including free, reduced-price, and paid meals, and will be adjusted annually for inflation starting July 1, 2026. It directly affects public schools and school districts participating in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs by boosting their per-meal funding. The policy change aims to support meal quality and accessibility without altering eligibility requirements or program administration.
