Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to fill out an application every school year?

Yes. Families must complete a new meal application each school year unless your student attends a school that provides meals at no cost to all students through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

Eligibility is based on household income and size. Families receiving SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR benefits may automatically qualify.
