• Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline;
• Participates in the National School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision; or
• Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year

Two-Steps to Enroll

• Benefit award letter
• Approval letter
• Statement of benefits
• Benefit verification letter
• For federal Pell Grants, documents should be from this academic year and can include, for example, screenshots of a StudentAid.gov dashboard that clearly documents the student's receipt of a Pell Grant during the current award year.

Applicants may also need to provide documentation to confirm their identity or address.

You can learn more about the documentation you may need to provide and how to submit it by visiting: www.affordableconnectivity.gov/how-to-apply/show-you-qualify/.

1. If your child attends a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), school, when applying online select “Free and Reduced Price School Lunch or Breakfast Program” on the “Confirm You Qualify” page. You can then indicate that your child is enrolled at a CEP school by entering the name of the school and uploading documentation that demonstrates that your child is enrolled at that school.

The documentation must include:

• • The student's (benefit qualifying person's) name
  • Name of the school or of the school district
  • A date that coincides with the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school yearThe studen't (benefit qualifying person's) name.

Examples of acceptable documentation include a child’s report card or a letter from the school or school district indicating the child’s enrollment. Generic school notices that do not include the benefit qualifying person’s name would not be sufficient to enroll in the program based on the CEP.

2. Households that have separately applied for and been approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or school breakfast program can also apply online by selecting “Free and Reduced Price School Lunch or Breakfast Program” on the “Confirm You Qualify” page. You will also be required to submit documentation, such as a letter from a school or school district confirming that the household’s child or dependent is approved to receive free and reduced-price school lunch or school breakfast.
