Privacy Act Statement: This explains how we will use the information you give us.
The National School Lunch Act requires the information on this application. You do not have to give the information, but if you do not,
we cannot approve your children for free or reduced price meals. The Social Security Number of the adult household member who
signs the application is required unless you list Food Stamp or TANF case numbers for all children you are applying for, OR if you are
applying for a foster child. You must check the "I do not have a Social Security Number" box if the adult household member signing
the application does not have a Social Security Number.
The information that you send will be used to determine or prove your child’s eligibility for free or reduced price meals. It may also be
shared for the same purpose with other agencies sponsoring USDA child nutrition programs. The information you give may be used,
with your permission, for determining additional education benefits, free textbooks, workbooks, and other school supplies. (See Part
7: “Other Benefits” on application.) With your permission, your name, address, and social security number may be shared with the
Department of Health and Human Resources to send you Medicaid information or information about the State Children’s Health
Insurance Program. (See Part 8 on form attached to application.) Information may be shared with federal and state educational
programs as permitted in federal nutrition program regulations.

Part 8: SHARING INFORMATION WITH MEDICAID/SCHIP
If your children get free or reduced price school meals, they may also be able to get free or low-cost insurance through
Medicaid or the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Children with health insurance are more likely to
get regular health care and are less likely to miss school because of sickness.
If you complete this section of this form, Medicaid and SCHIP program officials may contact you to offer to enroll your children. Filling
out the Free/Reduced Price School Meals Application does not automatically enroll your children in health insurance.
If you do NOT want us to share your information with Medicaid or SCHIP, do not complete this part of the form.
Yes! I DO want to receive information about Medicaid. Please share my name, address, and
Security Number with the Medicaid office.
Social
Yes! I DO want to receive information about SCHIP. Please share my name, address, and Social Security Number
with the SCHIP office.
