Frequently Asked Questions

Who can get free meals?

Children in households enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), students who qualify as homeless, runaway, foster, and/or migrant children, and students who live with a parent in a car or hotel can get free meals regardless of your income. Also, if your household income is within the limits on the Federal Income Chart, your children can get free or reduced price meals.

Applications from families receiving SNAP and TANF benefits need only to list the children's names, 7-digit SNAP and TANF number (SNAP number begins with "1B..."; QUEST card numbers are not acceptable), the last 4 digits of an adult household member's social security number (or a mark in the box if no SS number), address and phone number, and the signature of the adult household member.

All other households who would qualify based upon income must show the names of all household members, the amount of income each person received last month and source, the frequency of earnings, the signature of an adult household member and the last 4 digits of that adult's social security number or check the box if the adult does not have a social security number. The information on the application may be verified by the program officials at any time during the school year.

What if my income changes?

Once your children qualify for free or reduced-price meals they are eligible for benefits the remainder of the school year and the first 30 days of the following school year, even if your income goes up. If you qualify for reduced-price meal benefits and your income decreases or your household size increases, you may want to reapply as your student may be eligible to receive free meals.

If I don't qualify now, can I reapply?
