What’s New This Year

The Keep Kids Fed Act (KKFA) expired on June 30, 2023. This law, which was was enacted during the Covid-19 pandemic, added a temporary additional reimbursement in the amount of 10 cents for each meal and supplement and allowed Tier II Family Care Homes to receive reimbursements at Tier I rates. Now that the law has expired, Tier II family care homes will return to Tier II reimbursement rates.
