Direct Certification Report Overview

The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, (Public Law 108-265) amended the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to require direct certification. Each local educational agency (LEA) must directly certify children who are members of households receiving assistance under the Food Stamp Program as eligible for free school meals, without further application, based on information provided in an electronic data file from the Department of Human Services (DHS).

For the 2008-2009 school year, this requirement will apply to all school districts participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
