This report summarizes the results of the school year (SY) 2008-09 application verification process for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP). Each year, local educational agencies (LEAs) review a sample of applications that they approved for free or reduced-price school meal benefits at the start of the school year.
Households do not provide documentation of income or participation in means-tested public assistance programs at the time they submit applications for school meal benefits. However, if selected for verification, households must submit such documentation to maintain their free or reduced-price certifications.
Households whose benefits are to be reduced or terminated as a result of the verification process are given an opportunity to appeal. In addition, households may reapply for benefits at any time.
