What this means for you:

● Fee Waivers and Health Insurance: Student Free and Reduced-Price meal eligibility can be shared with other programs (with parental consent) for the purposes of fee waivers, scholarships, Medicaid and SCHIP.

● School Benefits: Your school receives State and local funding based on the number of students eligible for Free and Reduced-Price meals.

Important: Your student(s) will continue to receive meals at no cost for the 2021-22 school year regardless of the eligibility determination of your household’s SY2021-22 application.
