- Each school year a new meal application must be submitted in order for students to participate or continue their participation in the free school meals program.
- Families who receive CalFresh, CalWORKs, or FDPIR, for their school-aged children may be automatically eligible for the program.
- Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal benefits. An application is not needed, yet there does need to be documentation of status by a state or local entity familiar with the child's status. Foster children may be included in the household application as part of the household size.
