Requires anthropometric data collection within 30 days of scheduling (and no later than 90 days after) a remote certification appointment to complete nutritional risk evaluations

Permits state agencies to grant interim eligibility to income-qualified applicants immediately, without waiting for nutritional risk evaluation, with temporary certification terminating after 91 days if data is not collected
