The National Disability Rights Network joined the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) Financial Security and Poverty Taskforce and Education Taskforce to thank Congress for the child nutrition and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provisions included in the recently passed Continuing Appropriations Act of 2021. The provisions extend waivers for the National School Lunch Program ensuring children have access to school meals and allowing states to extend administrative flexibilities for SNAP including extending certification periods, adjusting reporting requirements, simplifying the recertification process, and extending interview flexibilities.
