Abstract: The overall aim of this evaluation is to estimate the effect of direct certification using Medicaid (DC-M) on meal program access, costs, and participation. Although the process of matching student enrollment records to Medicaid data will likely increase direct certification costs for States and some school districts, DC-M can generate cost savings for districts if it leads fewer families to submit applications for school meals. DC-M will also have an impact on Federal costs if it leads to an increase in students certified for free meals and therefore, an increase in Federal funds to school districts to cover the meals of the additional certified students.
