- This district/agency participates in Direct Certification: In a school participating in a meal program, your child is automatically certified to receive free meals if your household currently receives Food Stamp (FS), or if your child receives California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payments (Kin-GAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits. (See “HOW TO APPLY – FOOD STAMP BENEFITS”)
- A foster care child who is the legal responsibility of the welfare agency or ward of the court may be eligible to receive meals free or at a reduced price regardless of your income. Foster children must have a separate application from other children in your household, and their eligibility is based on their “Personal Use Income.” (See “HOW TO APPLY – FOSTER CARE”)
- If you do not receive benefits automatically qualifying your child for free meals, you may apply for free/reduced-price meals for your child(ren). If your total household income is the same or less than the amounts on the income scale below, your child may receive meals free or at a reduced price. “Household” means a group of related or non-related individuals who are living as one economic unit and sharing living expenses. “Living expenses” include rent, clothes, food, doctor bills, and utility bills. (See “HOW TO APPLY – INCOME HOUSEHOLDS”)
