Slide Deck: How Federal Benefits Support Schools— Impact & Opportunities

Federal benefit enrollment supports students, families, schools, and communities in many ways. In this session, participants heard about how enrollment in benefit programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid, impacts childhood nutrition programs both during and outside of school time as well as student funding. They also gained some perspective on policy and implementation approaches to connect students and families to federal benefits through schools.
