To amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to provide for automatic eligibility for free school lunch and breakfast programs to children of parents who are enlisted members of the Armed Forces on active duty.

H.R. 844 would grant automatic eligibility for free school breakfast and lunch programs to children of enlisted members of the Armed Forces or the National Guard who are serving on active duty. Currently, eligibility for these programs is typically based on household income levels; this bill would remove that requirement for active-duty military families, ensuring their children receive free school meals regardless of their specific pay grade or total household income. The bill aims to simplify the enrollment process and provide consistent nutritional support for the families of those serving in the military.
