Free
or Reduced Meals
It is never "too late" to apply for free/reduced meals. If there
are changes in your family's income, or an increase in your household
size,
then by all means contact your school, or this office, to get an
application.
Many programs in our school system are funded based on the number of
students
who qualify for free or reduced meals. You would be helping the
school
system as a whole by completing an application for meals if you
qualify.
Verification
of Free & Reduced Eligibility
Each year Child Nutrition Services is required to verify the incomes or
other eligibility information provided on a sample of the applications
for meals. CNS selects a focused sample of applications; this is
about 1% of the applications on file. If your application is
selected,
you will receive a letter notifying you that your application has been
selected for verification. You will then have two weeks to
provide
proof of the information which qualifies your child for meal
benefits.
If no proof of eligibility is received, the meal benefits will be
terminated.
Verification is a federal government requirement for receiving federal
reimbursement for meals served.
