The household size and income criteria are used to determine a student’s eligibility for free, reduced-price or full-price meal benefits. Children from households with incomes at or below eligible levels may qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Children who receive Food Stamps, California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payments (KinGAP) or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits are automatically eligible for free meals, regardless of the income of the household in which they reside. Eligibility for a foster child is based on a separate application and solely on the child’s income.
