IF YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A FOSTER CHILD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: With appropriate documentation, foster children are automatically eligible for free meals regardless of the income of the household where they reside. You have the option to provide the child care center with official documentation from the foster care agency or court that placed the child in the household, rather than completing this application. Should you choose to complete this application, and you are applying only for a foster child(ren), then only complete STEPS 1 and 4. If you are applying for foster and non-foster children, complete STEPS 1, 3, and 4. If completing STEP 3, do not include payments to the household for the care of the foster child(ren). See the instructions listed below for the applicable steps.

ALL OTHER HOUSEHOLDS, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: STEP 1: List all children age 18 and under that are supported with the household’s income, even if they are not related to you. Be sure to include the child listed at the top of the form. If there is not enough space to list all children, use a second form and attach the forms together. List the date of birth of each child. In the next three columns, circle Yes or No to answer each question for each child listed.

If there is not enough space to list all adults, use a second form and attach the forms together.

If self-employed, list net income. See examples below for sources of income to report. For any adult with no income, write “none” or “zero.” Any income fields that are blank will also be counted as a zero (0). Enter the total number of household members (all children and adults), then list the last four digits of the social security number (SSN) of the adult completing/signing the application (or write NONE if he/she has no SSN).
