• Provides temporary additional reimbursements of:
  • 40 cents per lunch served through the National School Lunch Program
  • 15 cents per breakfast served through the School Breakfast Program

Final reimbursement rates for School Year 2022-23 will be released in July and will include the temporary additional reimbursements as part of the total reimbursement for each meal.
