School Breakfast Program
Published on AidPage by IDILOGIC on Jun 24, 2005
Who can benefit...
All children attending schools where the breakfast program is operating may participate. Breakfast is served free to children who are determined by local school authorities to have household income levels at or below 130, or at a reduced price to children from households with incomes higher than 130 and at or below 185, percent of the income eligibility guidelines, respectively. Meals served to non-needy children also get cash assistance (21.00 cents for the school year ending June 30, 2002). Such determinations are made in accordance with income eligibility guidelines prescribed by the Secretary and cross reference household income with household size. The Secretary prescribes these income eligibility guidelines by June 1; the statistical source used in making such revisions is the Federal Income Poverty Guidelines. Children from households certified to receive food stamps, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (formerly known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children) and some children in Head Start Programs are automatically eligible for free meals.
Beneficiaries
About this section:
This section lists the ultimate beneficiaries of a program, the criteria they must satisfy and who specifically is not eligible. The applicant and beneficiary will generally be the same for programs that provide assistance directly from a Federal agency. However, financial assistance that passes through State or local governments will have different applicants and beneficiaries since the assistance is transmitted to private sector beneficiaries who are not obligated to request or apply for the assistance.
