Free and Reduced Program
Free & Reduced Application
Your children may be eligible for Free or Reduced Priced Meals (breakfast & lunch) if:
- Your income is within the free limits of the Federal Income Chart (at or below 130% of poverty)
- Your income is within the reduced price limits of the Federal Income Chart (incomes between 130% and 185% of poverty)
- You currently receive Food Stamps or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Cash Assistance for your children
- Foster children may receive free lunches regardless of income
- Homeless, runaway and migrant children may qualify for free meals if determined to qualify by our Homeless Liaison (please contact Kim Schlemmer if you think you may be eligible in this category)
To apply for free or reduced priced breakfast & lunch meals for your child, you can either print and complete the application below (or pick one up at any school office) or apply online at www.compass.state.pa.us. Paper applications must be filled out completely and returned to the school or District Office. Only one application needs to be completed for all children in your household and everyone in your household must be listed. The only exception to this is for foster children who need their own application.
If your circumstances change throughout the school year or you were denied, you may apply or reapply at any time and as many times as you choose.
If you qualify, your children are eligible to receive BOTH BREAKFAST AND LUNCH.
