## Summary

**A 10-cent extra payment per meal would be added to the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).** The bill would apply that extra payment to all meals and supplements and reorganize how family and group day care home sponsoring organizations' reimbursements are calculated. - Children and meals: Every meal and supplement served under CACFP would receive an additional reimbursement of 10 cents, with the amount adjustable under section 11(a) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. - Family and group day care home sponsors: The bill would restructure reimbursement calculations for these sponsoring organizations so the new additional reimbursement explicitly applies to their payments. - Program text and administration: It updates cross-references, removes a subparagraph from the reimbursement section, and fixes a typographical error so the new add-on is integrated into existing law.
