This is the Craig County Public Schools electronic application for free and reduced priced meals for the USDA’s National School Lunch & School Breakfast Programs.

there are a few things you should know.

If you received a letter from the school saying that your children were automatically approved (directly certified) for free meals for the 2019–2020 school year because someone in your household participates in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) then you do not need to submit an application.

Eligibility for free or reduced price school meal benefits is based on any one of these three things:

- your total household income and size in the month the application is filled out, or the month before, or
- your child’s individual status as foster, homeless, migrant or runaway, or
- participation in an assistance program by any member of your household

Your US citizenship or immigration status does not affect your eligibility for free and reduced price benefits.

Lastly, we compiled a list of the information you might need to complete the application:

If you have this information handy, it will make the application process fast and easy.

If you participate in SNAP, TANF , or FDPIR you will need to know your case number (not your card or account number).
If you do not participate in any of the above assistance programs, you will need to report your total household income. In that case you will be contacted for follow up information.

that all information on this application is true.

I understand that this information is given in connection with the receipt of Federal funds, and that school o­fficials may verify (check) the information. I am aware that if I purposely give false information, my children may lose meal benefits.
