How long does it take to find out if my child qualifies and how will I find out?

It can take up to 5-10 business days to process an application. Applications that are completed on-line are processed more quickly than are paper applications.Apply online. You will be mailed a letter stating the outcome of your application. The cafeteria will be automatically notified.

Do I need to re-apply every year?

After that, any family who has not submitted a new application will have meal benefits terminated.

Will my eligibility status transfer from another school district?

No, you will need to fill out another application.
