The Child Nutrition and WIC Amendments of 1989 and Section II of the Food Stamp Act of 1977, permit local districts to disclose Food Stamp Program participation information to school authorities, to allow schools to certify any child as eligible for free or reduced price school meals based on the child's status as a member of a household receiving food stamps or ADC. The intent is to simplify the application process for the School Meals Program and at the same time increase the number of eligible children participating in the program.
