Nearly 1 million children could lose automatic eligibility for free school lunches under a Trump administration proposal, according to a new analysis.
The rule, proposed by the Agriculture Department, aims to restrict broader access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program , otherwise known as food stamps. But the estimate of how many children would lose their eligibility for free meals under the rule was left out of the Federal Register when the proposal was announced in July.
Virginia Rep. Bobby Scott, chairman of the House Education and Labor committee, released a statement on Wednesday calling for the agency to"abandon" its proposed rule. The additional analysis was released by the Agriculture Department earlier this week, and in a news release, the department said it would reopen the public comment period for 14 days to"provide the public an opportunity to review and provide comment on this document as part of the rulemaking record.”
Scott’s July 26 letter said that during a phone briefing with committee staff, the FNS estimated the proposed rule would"result in more than 500,000 children losing their automatic eligibility for free school meals.”
