COMMUNITY ELIGIBILITY PROVISION
• Provision provides an alternative to household applications for free and reduced price meals in high poverty local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools.
• LEA or schools electing the Provision agree to serve all students free lunches and breakfasts for four successive school years.
• Meal program claims are based on the percentage of identified students multiplied by a factor of 1.6.
Who are the Identified Students?
• Identified students are defined as the students certified for free meals not through the submission of individual applications.
• This definition includes students directly certified through SNAP, TANF, and FDPIR participation as well as homeless on the liaison list, Head Start, pre‐K Even Start, migrant youth, runaways, and non‐applicants approved by local officials. Foster children certified through means other than an application are also included.
School Eligibility Requirements• The 40% threshold may be determined school‐by‐school, by a group of schools within the LEA, or in the aggregate for an entire LEA.
% of identified students = Number of identified students as of April 1 x 100Total enrollment as of April 1
• This percentage multiplied by 1.6 will be the percentage of total meals served reimbursed at the Federal free rate.
Reimbursement• The percentage of identified students as of April 1st of the
prior year is multiplied by 1.6 to determine the percentage of meals reimbursed at the Federal free rate.
• The remaining percentage of meals not covered under the Provision will be reimbursed at the Federal paid rate.
• Any meal costs in excess of the total Federal reimbursement must be covered through non‐Federal sources
Direct Certification
• Statewide Eligibility and Point of Service System
• Conduct weekly matches• Allows us to provide districts/schools with their certified Identified Student Percentage and corresponding % needy rates
