Impacted by Federal Shutdown? Apply for Meal Benefits Today

Did you know that if your household income changes — including changes due to a furlough or other employment adjustments — you may apply for Free and Reduced-Price Meals (FARMS) for your student at any point during the school year?

Even if your student automatically receives free breakfast and lunch at a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) school, we encourage you to complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meals (FARMS) application to access additional benefits, including:

• Waived testing and activity fees
• Discounted internet service
• Access to community programs and resources

Complete the application online for the quickest processing, or request a paper form from your child’s school.
