Parent/Guardian:
Children need healthy meals to learn. Montrose Area School District offers healthy meals every school day. Breakfast
costs $1.25; lunch costs $2.25. Your child(ren) may qualify for free meals or for reduced price meals. Reduced price
is .30¢ for breakfast and .40¢ for lunch. This packet includes an application for free or reduced price meal benefits, and
a set of detailed instructions. Below are some common questions and answers to help you with the application process.
If you have received a NOTICE OF DIRECT CERTIFICATION letter for free meals, do not complete the application. But do let the school know if any children in your household are not listed on the Notice of Direct Certification letter you
received.
1. WHO CAN GET FREE OR REDUCED PRICE MEALS OR SPECIAL MILK?
All children in households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) formerly Food
Stamps or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits are eligible for free meals.
Foster children who are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free
meals.
Children participating in their school’s Head Start program are eligible for free meals.
Children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant are eligible for free meals.
Children may receive free or reduced price meals if your household’s income is within the limits on the
Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Your children may qualify for free or reduced price meals if your
household income falls at or below the limits on this chart.
Your children may qualify for free or
reduced price meals/milk if your household
income falls at or below the limits on this
chart.
2. HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CHILDREN QUALIFY AS HOMELESS, MIGRANT, OR RUNAWAY? Do the members of
your household lack a permanent address? Are you staying together in a shelter, hotel, or other temporary housing
arrangement? Does your family relocate on a seasonal basis? Are any children living with you who have chosen to
leave their prior family or household? If you believe children in your household meet these descriptions and haven’t
been told your children will get free meals, please call or e-mail Kelly-Jo Riker, 570-278-6219,
7. I GET WIC. CAN MY CHILDREN GET FREE MEALS? Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible
for free or reduced price meals. Please send in an application.
8. WILL THE INFORMATION I GIVE BE CHECKED? Yes. We may also ask you to send written proof of the
household income you report.
9. IF I DON’T QUALIFY NOW, MAY I APPLY LATER? Yes, you may apply at any time during the school year. For
example, children with a parent or guardian who becomes unemployed may become eligible for free and reduced
price meals if the household income drops below the income limit.
10. WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE SCHOOL’S DECISION ABOUT MY APPLICATION? You should talk to school
officials. You also may ask for a hearing by calling or writing to: Carol Boyce, 273 Meteor Way, Montrose, PA
18801, 570-278-6298..
11. MAY I APPLY IF SOMEONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN? Yes. You, your children, or other
household members do not have to be U.S. citizens to apply for free or reduced price meals.
12. WHAT IF MY INCOME IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME? List the amount that you normally receive. For example, if
you normally make $1000 each month, but you missed some work last month and only made $900, put down that
you made $1000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but do not include it if you only work overtime
sometimes. If you have lost a job or had your hours or wages reduced, use your current income.
13. WHAT IF SOME HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS HAVE NO INCOME TO REPORT? Household members may not receive
some types of income we ask you to report on the application, or may not receive income at all. Whenever this
happens, please write a 0 in the field. However, if any income fields are left empty or blank, those will also be
counted as zeroes. Please be careful when leaving income fields blank, as we will assume you meant to do so.
14. WE ARE IN THE MILITARY. DO WE REPORT OUR INCOME DIFFERENTLY? Your basic pay and cash bonuses
must be reported as income. If you get any cash value allowances for off-base housing, food, or clothing, or receive
Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance payments, it must also be included as income. However, if your
housing is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your housing allowance as income.
Any additional combat pay resulting from deployment is also excluded from income.
15. WHAT IF THERE ISN’T ENOUGH SPACE ON THE APPLICATION FOR MY FAMILY? List any additional household
members on a separate piece of paper, and attach it to your application. Contact Betsy O’Malley, 75 Meteor
