The release says Omar and Sanders introduced the Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026, which would expand the Child and Adult Care Food Program and allow childcare providers to receive the highest reimbursement rate regardless of income.

Recent official action shows Omar continuing to work on child care-adjacent policy, but it does not establish that childcare workers have been fully trained and paid a living wage.

Congress.gov records that H.R. 6907, introduced by Rep. Rob Menendez with Rep. Ilhan Omar, would establish a grant program to help eligible individuals cover childcare costs while attending workforce training; it was referred to committee and remains at the introduced stage in the record shown.

This is a concrete legislative move connected to childcare and workforce development, but it addresses parents' childcare costs rather than childcare workers' training or wages, so it only partially overlaps the claim.

The cited actions show Omar engaging on child care-adjacent policy, including school meals/CACFP reimbursement and childcare support for people in workforce training. However, the promised outcome was specifically to ensure childcare workers are fully trained and paid a living wage. The evidence does not show enactment of a federal policy delivering living wages or full training standards for childcare workers, nor a directly successful Omar-led implementation. Because there was some legislative activity in the broader childcare/workforce area but no delivery of the promised worker training-and-wage outcome, this should be scored as not delivered with effort credit.
