Note: Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (the Act), Public Law 111-296, provides categorical eligibility for free meals to foster children. The Act, in Section 102, amends a key provision of the National School Lunch Act to make any foster child categorically eligible, without the necessity of an application, for free school meals.
