| Who can get free meals? |
| Children in households
getting FoodShare or W-2 cash benefits and most foster children can
get free meals regardless of your income. Also, your children can get free
meals if your household income is within the free limits on the
Federal Income Guidelines. |
| Can homeless, runaway and migrant children get free meals? |
| Please call Jim Hecht,
Director Pupil Services, 414-371-6756 to see if your child(ren)
qualify, if you have not been informed that they will get free
meals. |
| Who can get reduced price meals? |
| Your children can get low
cost meals if your household income is within the reduced price
limits on the federal Income Chart, shown on this application. |
| Should I fill out an application if I got a letter this
school year saying my children are approved for free or reduced
price meals? |
| Please read the letter
carefully and follow the instructions. Call the Food Service
Office, 414-371-7045 if you have questions. |
| I get WIC. Can my child(ren) get free meals? |
| Children in households
participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced
price meals. Please fill out an application. |
| Will the information I give be checked? |
| Yes, we may ask you to send
written proof of the information you provide. |
| If I don't qualify now, may I apply later? |
| Yes. You may apply at any
time during the school year if your household size goes up, income
goes down, or if you start getting FoodShare, W-2 cash benefits or
other benefits. If you lose your job, your children may be able to
get free or reduced price meals. |
| What if I disagree with the school's decision about my application? |
| You should talk to school officials. You also may ask for a hearing by calling or writing to:
Emily Koczela, 8200 North 60th Street, Brown Deer, 414-371-6774. |

do not have to be a U.S. citizen to qualify for free or reduced
price meals. |

| You must include all people
living in your household, related or not (such as grandparents,
other relatives, or friends). You must include yourself and all
children who live with you. |
| What if my income is not always the same? |
| List the amount that you
normally get. For example, if you normally get $1000 each
month, but you missed some work last month and only got $900, put
down that you get $1000 per month. If you normally get
overtime, include it, but not if you get it only sometimes. |
| We are in the military, do we include our housing
allowance as income? |
| If your housing is part of
the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your
housing allowance as income. All other allowances must be
included in your gross income. |
| If you have other questions or need help, call
