All families, including those direct certified, those that receive assistance from other programs (SNAP, TANF, etc.) or those that are applying based on income eligibility must submit the two most recent pay stubs and/or documentation of all other income for each adult within the household. If the family has a direct certification letter from the previous school, this documentation could also be used to verify. This application is not complete until the below form is submitted and the required pay stubs/documentation are submitted to the school. Students will be served lunch without supporting documentation for one month, after which, if documentation is not received, the student's lunch account will change to full-pay status.*

I understand the above requirement and that documentation is required to complete this application.

The section below is required for families to submit documented income from all sources. You DO NOT have to fill in each space in the grid; instead, find the spaces that apply to the type(s) of income received by the adult member corresponding to when that adult receives that income (weekly, bi-weekly, etc.). Documentation provided should match the amounts entered in this section.

For example, if an adult receives child support on a monthly basis, follow the Child Support row over to the cell under the Monthly column, and fill in the amount received in the corresponding box.

Do this for all income sources and for each separate adult in the household.

The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requires the information on this application. You do not have to give the information, but if you do not, we cannot approve your child for free or reduced price meals. You must include the last four digits of the social security number of the adult household member who signs the application. The last four digits of the social security number is not required when you apply on behalf of a foster child or you list a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) case number or other FDPIR identiﬁer for your child or when you indicate that the adult household member signing the application does not have a social security number. We will use your information to determine if your child is eligible for free or reduced price meals, and for administration and enforcement of the lunch and breakfast programs. We MAY share your eligibility information with education, health, and nutrition programs to help them evaluate, fund, or determine beneﬁts for their programs, auditors for program reviews, and law enforcement officials to help them look into violations of program rules.
