| 2023-2024 School Meal Benefit Application
The online application, available in English, Spanish and Chinese, only takes a few minutes and is the fastest, easiest way to get approved. Complete only one application per household. List all students enrolled in a BSD school and all household members on the application. Families may reapply during the school year if financial or household size changes occur.
https://freeandreducedmeals.com/lfserver/Bellevue_Landing_Page_23-24
Families may also print and complete a paper application to apply for school meal benefits. Completed applications should be mailed to Nutrition Services at 12037 NE 5th Street, Bellevue WA 98005. *For applications in other languages, please go to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service website. Disregard the application reference to 2016-17.
Parents/guardians will receive written notification when the application has been processed. Please retain a copy of the eligibility letter as it may be needed at later times during the year for discounts on programs offered in your community such as internet or sports club participation. Applications may take up to 10 days to process.
Families that qualify for Basic Food/SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), TANF, FDPIR, ECEAP, Foster Care, Homeless, or Migrant are automatically enrolled in the school meal program as “Directly Certified” for free meals. Some Medicaid programs through DSHS may directly certify your student for free or reduced price school meals. Families that are directly certified do not need to complete the annual application for school meal benefits. If your student(s) are directly certified, family/guardians must complete the “consent to share” form so that your student’s eligibility status can be shared to access resources offered by the Family Engagement Specialists or to have fees waived for IB, AP and World Language tests; extracurricular activities such as ASB dues, event registrations, field trips, performances, social event/dances, sporting events, transportation fees, athletic fees, required uniforms; discounted summer school tuition. |
2023-2024年学校膳食福利申请
在线申请有英语、西班牙语和中文版本，只需几分钟，是获得批准的最快、最简单的方式。每个家庭只需完成一份申请。在申请表上列出就读 BSD 学校的所有学生和所有家庭成员。如果财务或家庭规模发生变化，家庭可以在学年期间重新申请 https://freeandreducedmeals.com/lfserver/Bellevue_Landing_Page_23-24
家庭还可以打印并填写纸质申请表来申请学校膳食福利。填妥的申请表应邮寄至 Nutrition Services，地址为：12037 NE 5th Street, Bellevue WA 98005。 *对于其他语言的申请，请访问USDA Food and Nutrition Service 网站. 忽略2016-17 年度的申请参考
申请处理完毕后，家长/监护人将收到书面通知。请保留一份资格函副本，因为在本学年晚些时候，您可能需要使用它来享受您所在社区提供的其它项目（例如互联网络或参与体育俱乐部）的折扣。申请的处理时间可能长达 10 天。 有资格获得基本食品/SNAP（以前称为食品券）、TANF、FDPIR、ECEAP、寄养家庭、无家可归者或移民的家庭将自动加入学校供餐计划，作为“直接认证”的免费餐食。 DSHS 的一些医疗补助计划可能会直接向您的学生证明免费或减价校餐。 直接获得认证的家庭无需完成学校膳食福利的年度申请。 如果您的学生直接获得认证，家人/监护人必须填写“同意分享”表格，以便可以分享您学生的资格状态，以获取家庭参与专家提供的资源或免除 IB、AP 和世界语言测试；课外活动，例如 ASB 会费、活动注册、实地考察、表演、社交活动/舞蹈、体育赛事、交通、运动费、所需制服；夏令营学费折扣。 |
