Plain-English Summary

This bill would make it easier for children of military families to qualify for free or reduced-price school meals by changing how their family income is calculated. Currently, military families may not qualify for meal assistance even though their actual spending power is lower due to housing and other military-specific costs, so this bill would adjust the rules to account for those expenses. The change would help ensure military-connected students have better access to nutritious meals at school.
