Book excerpt: Reauthorization. Appropriations authority for several child nutrition programs will expire by the end of the 105th Congress, prompting congressional action in 1998. Expiring authorities include those for: the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (the WIC program), the Summer Food Service program, State Administrative Expense (SAE) assistance, the commodity distribution program, and a number of special-purpose projects. While other child nutrition programs (such as the School Lunch and Breakfast programs) are permanently authorized, significant changes in these programs also are being considered for inclusion in the reauthorization legislation. Legislation. On June 4, 1998, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce ordered reported a substantially amended bipartisan version of H.R. 3874. This bill, now entitled the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Amendments of 1998, extends expiring program appropriations authorities through FY2003 and revises the National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act for net federal outlay savings estimated at approximately $70 million through FY2003. The major spending item in the bill expands the availability of federal subsidies for snacks served in after-school programs. The savings in the bill are derived from provisions (1) requiring that, when federal children nutrition subsidies are indexed for inflation each year, they all be rounded down to the nearest whole cent (not to the nearest quarter cent) and (2) reducing federal funds set aside for audits in the Child and Adult Care Food program. Additional amendments authorize a demonstration project providing free breakfasts for elementary school children without regard to family income, increase administrative flexibility for schools, states, and WIC agencies, make it easier for private nonprofit sponsors to operate the Summer Food Service program, change licensing and health/safety requirements on participating child nutrition providers, add a number of provisions to protect the integrity of the WIC program, and limit the degree to which WIC agencies can keep unused money and spend it in the following year. Most of the provisions in the Administrationâ€TMs child nutrition reauthorization package (H.R. 3666/S.2166) are included in H.R. 3874 as ordered reported. Eight other bills are before Congress: H.R. 3086, H.R. 3405, H.R. 3871, H.R. 3872, H.R. 3873, S. 1396, S.1556, and S.1581. Major provisions in these bills that are not contained in the bipartisan H.R. 3874 include those that would: mandate federal subsidies for free breakfasts to all elementary schoolchildren in participating schools (regardless of family income), restore money for start-up and expansion grants for breakfast and summer programs, and expand participation by for-profit child care providers in the Child and Adult Care Food program. The House may take up H.R. 3874 during the week of June 22, 1998, and consideration of child nutrition legislation by the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee also is expected the week of June 22.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child nutrition programs and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (the WIC program) are governed by: the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, the Child Nutrition Act, and Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935. Reauthorization of appropriations and comprehensive review of the these programs was last done in the 1998 William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act (P.L. 105-336), and the next reauthorization and major review is scheduled for 2003. However, a number of significant changes to child nutrition and WIC law have been enacted since 1998. In the 106th Congress, seven laws included provisions affecting child nutrition and WIC programs: P.L. 106-65, P.L. 106-170, P.L. 106-224, P.L. 106-398, P.L. 106-472, and P.L. 106-554. The most important of these ? P.L. 106-224 and P.L. 106-554 ? increased commodity support for school lunch programs, incorporated amendments aimed at improving the integrity and management of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), expanded/established demonstrations affecting for-profit child care centers in the CACFP and outside-of-school programs, and created a pilot to increase participation in the Summer Food Service program. In the 107th Congress, a number of legislative issues arose: CACFP eligibility of for-profit child care centers, rules for day care homes in the CACFP, CACFP afterschool initiatives, commodity support for schools (the level of support and expansion of the presence of fruits and vegetables in school nutrition programs), the purchase of locally produced foods for school meal programs, rules governing the offering of foods in competition with school meals ("competitive foods"), a paperwork reduction initiative for school meal programs, military families' eligibility for free/reducedprice school meals and WIC assistance, expansion of the Summer Food Service program, School Breakfast program expansion and a "before-school" proposal, and a nutrition and physical activity initiative. A number of these areas were addressed in enacted legislation: P.L. 107-76 (the FY2002 Agriculture Department appropriations measure) and P.L. 107-171 (the 2002 "farm bill;" the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act). In addition: S. 2801 (the Senate Appropriations Committee version of the FY2003 Agriculture Department appropriations measure) touched on several legislative issues, as did S. 940/H.R. 1990; S. 1179 and S. 1246 dealt with commodity support, although the provisions of S. 1246 were overtaken by P.L. 107171; H.R. 3997 affected rules for locally produced foods (in Puerto Rico) and was incorporated in P.L. 107-171; S. 745 and H.R. 2129 proposed changes in "competitive food" rules; S. 1246 dealt with a paperwork reduction issue, which was separately resolved in P.L. 107-76; H.R. 3082, H.R. 3216, and S. 1973 all dealt with the eligibility of military families, which was separately resolved in P.L. 107-171; S. 2660 included provisions to expand summer programs (also in S. 2801); H.R. 4192 proposed a new "before-school" initiative affecting the School Breakfast program; and S. 2821 incorporated nutrition and physical activity initiatives relating to school nutrition programs.
Download or read book Child Nutrition and WIC Programs written by Joe Richardson and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About a dozen federally supported child nutrition programs and related activities -- including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (the WIC program) -- reach over 36 million children and almost 2 million lower-income pregnant and postpartum women. The School Lunch and School Breakfast programs provide cash subsidies to participating schools and residential child care institutions (RCCIs) for all meals they serve; larger subsidies are granted for free and reduced-price meals served to lower-income children. The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) subsidises meals and snacks served by child care centres and day care homes; in centres, higher subsidies are given for meals/snacks served to lower-income children, while subsidies for homes generally are not varied by children's family income (but are larger for homes in lower-income areas or operated by lower-income providers). Schools, RCCIs, and other public and private non-profit organisations operating programs for children also can receive subsidies for snacks (and, in some cases, meals) served in after-school and other outside-of-school settings. The Summer Food Service Program subsidises food service operations by public and private non-profit sponsors in lower-income areas during the summer; all meals/snacks they serve are subsidised, generally without regard to individual children's family income. The Special Milk Program operates in schools and RCCIs without a lunch program and subsidises all milk they serve. All these subsidies are inflation-indexed and are paid only where the subsidised meals/snacks meet federal nutrition standards. In addition to cash aid, many providers receive food commodities from the Agriculture Department, at a set value per meal (and may receive 'bonus' commodities from stocks acquired for agricultural support purposes). Grants also are made to help cover state administrative expenses. And, the WIC program provides nutrition services and tailored food packages to lower-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children who are judged to be at nutritional risk. Other significant federal programs/activities include: a WIC farmers' market nutrition program, support for a Food Service Management Institute, and initiatives to improve meal quality, food service, and safety.
