What is the Community Eligibility Provision Program?
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. CEP allows the nation’s highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Instead, schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
Key Points For Parents and Guardians
All students enrolled in a Community Eligibility Provision school will receive free meals.
Households do not complete a meal benefit application (lunch application) to qualify for meal benefits. Students will be required to use their account PIN# for breakfast and lunch.
Snacks and beverages will be sold a la carte. Funds can be deposited in the student lunch accounts for purchases of a la carte items.
Below is the list of the Community Eligibility Provision Schools. Schools highlighted in red are new for school year 2024-2025.
