Where I...Bryna, I don't think you need to flip. Where I live, parents are required to fill out the form whether they think their kid is eligible or not. That said, some parents still don't (and I can understand why, since if you make a 6 figure salary, you're not going to want to give that information to the people at school), but by requiring everyone to fill it out, they can maximize the federal dollars that go towards school nutrition. It also is part of the registration/residency verification process that parents have to do EVERY YEAR because our schools are so good (ha!) that we have people pouring in from surrounding areas just dying to fraudulently enroll their kids in our public schools. Um, yeah. And you might get the form after the school year starts.Foster Imahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851404564283332825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956831115379158009.post-49214790499001576042010-08-19T00:24:24.878-04:002010-08-19T00:24:24.878-04:00uh ... should i be flipping because i didn't r...uh ... should i be flipping because i didn't receive any such form from my foster kiddo's school? he gets free lunch based on mom's income but i haven't gotten a form to fill it out for this year. wuh-oh.<br /><br />< / end completely unhelpful comment >Brynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000922121845335824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956831115379158009.post-31633512156817401072010-08-18T01:08:58.727-04:002010-08-18T01:08:58.727-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956831115379158009.post-24992836290479350352010-08-15T21:41:53.885-04:002010-08-15T21:41:53.885-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956831115379158009.post-23210852184303671192010-08-15T20:41:31.560-04:002010-08-15T20:41:31.560-04:00agree with yondalla, All foster children in our st...agree with yondalla, All foster children in our state get "free" luches automatically.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311320805081897725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956831115379158009.post-9326783365678866472010-08-13T19:21:53.664-04:002010-08-13T19:21:53.664-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956831115379158009.post-78585591044200063522010-08-13T17:33:07.135-04:002010-08-13T17:33:07.135-04:00Her income is zero.

You can put down the state as the guardian and don't include any income for them. Overall, call the school and let them know to call the agency if they have any questions.Rachie317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14646338773104987972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956831115379158009.post-32526320406761563912010-08-12T09:52:37.322-04:002010-08-12T09:52:37.322-04:00Her income is definitely 0.

A teen with a job would put down that income, for example.<br />My understanding is that because she is in foster care, she automatically qualifies, so they shouldn't need any info about your income or SSN. In fact, my instructions say just to fill out part 1 and 2, skip part 3, sign part 4 (but no SSN necessary) and answer part 5 if you choose to. Do we have the same form?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
