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 a Food Stamp case
number, 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. We will use your information to see if your
children are eligible for free or reduced price meals, to run the
program and to enforce the rules of the program. We may share your
eligibility information with education programs to help them
evaluate, fund or determine benefits for those programs, and
auditors for program reviews.
