School Meals for Healthy Kids Act of 2025

This bill changes the federal school lunch law in two ways. First, it would let states that used Medicaid data to automatically sign children up for free or reduced-price school meals in the 2024-25 school year, through federal demonstration projects, keep using that data in later school years under the same conditions. Second, for schools that serve free meals to all students under the Community Eligibility Provision, it would set the multiplier used in calculating federal reimbursement at 1.6 for every school year. It would also fix the related regulations as they stand on the date the bill becomes law, rather than any later versions.
