AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set up a 3-year pilot program within one year that gives families financial help to buy infant formula or donor human milk. Eligible people are parents or guardians of a child under one year old (or older if medically needed) who do not qualify for the WIC nutrition program and who cannot breastfeed for listed medical or other reasons, or whose child has certain medical feeding issues. Help may be given through vouchers, reimbursements, or grants to local government or nonprofit groups. The Secretary must evaluate the program each year and report to Congress, and the bill authorizes $15 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
