This section authorizes States to provide meal supplements in qualifying after-school programs. It sets the eligible schools and children, payment rates, and supplement-content rules.
(a) The Secretary* must help States provide meal supplements through programs primarily caring for children after school in eligible elementary or secondary schools. “Eligible elementary and secondary schools” are schools that run the school-lunch program, sponsor after-school care, and run an after-school program with an educational or enrichment purpose.
(b) Reimbursement is only for supplements served to school children age 18 or younger, except for a child* described in section 1760(d)(1)(A).
(c) (1) For an eligible child at a site in an area served by a school where at least 50 percent of enrolled children are certified for free or reduced-price meals, the supplement is reimbursed at the free-supplement rate under section 1766(c)(3) and must be free. (2) At other sites, the national supplement rates are the rates under section 1766(c)(3), adjusted under section 1759a(a)(3).
(d) The rules for what meal supplements must contain in child-care food programs under this chapter also apply here.
The Secretary* shall carry out a program to assist States through grants-in-aid and other means to provide meal supplements under a program organized primarily to provide care for children in afterschool care in eligible elementary and secondary schools.
For the purposes of this section, the term “eligible elementary and secondary schools” means schools that—
operate school lunch programs under this chapter;
sponsor afterschool care programs; and
operate afterschool programs with an educational or enrichment purpose.
Reimbursement may be provided under this section only for supplements served to school children who are not more than 18 years of age, except that the age limitation provided by this subsection shall not apply to a child* described in section 1760(d)(1)(A) of this title.
In the case of an eligible child who is participating in a program authorized under this section operated at a site located in a geographical area served by a school in which at least 50 percent of the children enrolled are certified as eligible to receive free or reduced price school meals under this chapter or the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.), a supplement provided under this section to the child shall be—
reimbursed at the rate at which free supplements are reimbursed under section 1766(c)(3) of this title; and
served without charge.
In the case of an eligible child who is participating in a program authorized under this section at a site that is not described in paragraph (1), for the purposes of this section, the national average payment rate for supplements shall be equal to those established under section 1766(c)(3) of this title (as adjusted pursuant to section 1759a(a)(3) of this title).
The requirements that apply to the content of meal supplements served under child care food programs operated with assistance under this chapter shall apply to the content of meal supplements served under programs operated with assistance under this section.
