National School Lunch Programs - Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act - Certification Continuous Improvement Plan Requirements (US Food and Nutrition Service Regulation) (FNS) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the National School Lunch Programs - Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act - Certification Continuous Improvement Plan Requirements (US Food and Nutrition Service Regulation) (FNS) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This rule amends the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) regulations to incorporate provisions of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 designed to encourage States to improve direct certification efforts with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The provisions require State agencies to meet certain direct certification performance benchmarks and to develop and implement continuous improvement plans if they fail to do so. This rule also amends NSLP and SNAP regulations to provide for the collection of data elements needed to compute each State's direct certification performance rate to compare with the new benchmarks. Improved direct certification efforts would help increase program accuracy, reduce paperwork for States and households, and increase eligible children's access to school meals.
