Child Nutrition Reauthorization Priorities
By National WIC Association
The Child Nutrition Reauthorization process is the prime opportunity to enact WIC reforms to improve service delivery and leverage WIC’s effective intervention to address national public health priorities. A reauthorization has not passed into law since the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. As Congress continues to consider a Child Nutrition Reauthorization, WIC is poised to modernize statutory requirements to reflect lessons learned while operating remote WIC services during COVID-19 and enhance WIC’s reach and public health impact.
