Breakfast After the Bell Act of 2026 provides additional reimbursement to schools with breakfast programs serving meals after the start of the school.

The Breakfast After the Bell Act of 2026 amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to provide an additional reimbursement of 10 cents for each reimbursable breakfast served after the start of the school day through a breakfast after the bell program. This program serves breakfast in the classroom or at a kiosk outside the cafeteria, aiming to increase participation. The additional reimbursement is for schools served by local educational agencies that elect to receive special assistance payments.
