Household size, income determine eligibility for lunch program Jefferson County School Dis trict 509-J today announced it's policy for free and reduced-price meals for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch Pro gram. Each school and the office of Jefferson County School District 509-J has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by an inter ested party. The following household sie and income criteria will be used for determining eligibility. Children from households whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Families may fill out applica tions prior to the start of school so that lunch benefits are not delayed. Applications are available at the District office at any time, 1355 Buff Street, Madras, Oregon, 97741 (Phone: 475-6192) or at the individuals schools beginning on August 23, 1990. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determin ing eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program offi cials. Important - benefits will not begin until the application has been approved. For school officials to determine eligibility, Households receiving food stamps or "Aid for Depend ent Children (ADC)" must list the child's name, their food stamp or ADC case number and the signa tureand nameof anadull(2l years or older) household member. Since you have already given informa tion to the welfare office, the school can confirm your eligibility. Households not receiving food stamps or ADC must list: names of all household members; social sec urity number of the primary wage earner responsible for the child applying for benefits; total month ly income and the amount of in come (before deductions for taxes, social security etc.) each received last month and source of the in come received by each household member certifying that the infor mation provided is correct. If you have a household member for whom last months income was higher or lower than usual, list that person's expected average monthly income. You may apply for benefits any time during the school year. If you are not eligible now, but have a decrease in household income, an increase in household size, or be come unemployed, fill out an ap plication at that time. Under the pw i,ion of the free and reduced-price policy, school officials will review applications and determine eligibility. Parents or guardians dissatisfied with the ruling of the official may wish to discuss the decision with the de termining official on an informal basis. Parents wishing to make a formal appeal may make a request either orally or in writing to the hearing official identified for a hearing on the decision: Stanley G. Dmytryk, 1355 Buff Street, Mad ras, Oregon. 97741 (Phone: 475 6192). If you list income information and your child is approved for meal benefits, you must tell the school when your household in come increases by $50 or more per month ($600 per year) or when your household size decreases. In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for school meal benefits. If you wish to apply for meal benefits for a foster child, contact the school for help with the application.
