Iowa will not participate this summer in a federal program that gives $40 per month to each child in a low-income family to help with food costs while school is out, state officials have announced.

The state has notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture that it will not participate in the 2024 Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children — or Summer EBT — program, the state’s Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Education said in a Friday news release.

“Federal COVID-era cash benefit programs are not sustainable and don’t provide long-term solutions for the issues impacting children and families. An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,” Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release.

Just a little bit more, it's for a good cause is not a good gauge, any program could be shoehorned into those criteria.

It's a lunch program for summer.

Saying "for children" doesn't make money appear

It isn’t a comeback. It’s a statement. You’re always talking about children. I’ve clearly stated I have your emotional plea doesn’t sway me.

Children do not starve in our country. If you disagree I need a photograph of a starving child.

I am sick of people trying to perpetuate the myth that people starve in the United States. They do not.
