count foster children’s income if you are applying for them

together with the rest of your household.

What is Child Incom

oney received from outside your household that is paid DIRECTLY to your children. M

any households do not have any child income.

3.B REPORT IN

COM

E EARNED BY ADU

LTS W

ho should I list here? W

hen filling out this section, please include ALL adult mem

bers in your household who are living w

ith you and share income and expenses, even if they are not related and even

if they do not receive income of their ow

If a child listed in STEP 1 has income,

follow the instructions in STEP 3, part A.

C) Report earnings from w

ork. Report all income from

work in the

“Earnings from W

ork” field on the application. This is usually the m

oney received from w

orking at jobs. If you are a self-employed

business or farm ow

ner, you will report your net incom

e. W

hat if I am self-em

ployed? Report income from

that work as a net

amount. This is calculated by subtracting the total operating

expenses of your business from its gross receipts or revenue.

D) Report income from

public assistance/child support/alim

ony. Report all income that applies in the “Public

Assistance/Child Support/Alimony” field on the application. Do

not report the cash value of any public assistance benefits NO

UST be equal to the num

ber of household m

embers listed in STEP 1 and STEP 3. If there are any m

embers of

your household that you have not listed on the application, go back and add them

. It is very important to list all household m

embers, as

the size of your household affects your eligibility for free and reduced price m

eals.

G) Provide the last four digits of your Social Security N

umber.

An adult household mem

ber must enter the last four digits of

their Social Security Num

ber in the space provided. You are eligible to apply for benefits even if you do not have a Social Security N

pleting this section, please also make sure you have read the privacy and civil rights statem

ents on the back of the application. A) Provide your contact inform

ation. Write your current

address in the fields provided if this information is available.

If you have no permanent address, this does not m

ake your children ineligible for free or reduced price school m

eals. Sharing a phone num

but helps us reach you quickly if we need to contact you.

B) Print and sign your name. Print

certifying (promising) that there is no incom

e to report. If local officials suspect that your household income w

as reported incorrectly, your application will be investigated.

Mark how

often each type of income is received using the check boxes to the right of each field.

3.A. REPORT IN

COM

E EARNED BY CHILDREN

A) Report all incom

e earned or received by children. Report the combined gross incom

e for ALL children listed in STEP 1 in your household in the box marked “Child Incom

e.” Only

count foster children’s income if you are applying for them

together with the rest of your household.

What is Child Incom

e? Child income is m

oney received from outside your household that is paid DIRECTLY to your children. M

any households do not have any child income.

3.B REPORT IN

COM

E EARNED BY ADU

LTS W

ho should I list here? W

hen filling out this section, please include ALL adult mem

bers in your household who are living w

ith you and share income and expenses, even if they are not related and even

if they do not receive income of their ow

n. Do N

OT include:

oPeople w

ho live with you but are not supported by your household’s incom

e AND do not contribute incom

e to your household. o

Infants, Children and students already listed in STEP 1. B) List adult household m

embers’

names. Print the nam

e of each household m

ember in the boxes m

arked “N

ames of Adult Household M

embers

(First and Last).” Do not list any household m

embers you listed in STEP 1.

If a child listed in STEP 1 has income,

follow the instructions in STEP 3, part A.

C) Report earnings from w

ork. Report all income from

work in the

“Earnings from W

ork” field on the application. This is usually the m

oney received from w

orking at jobs. If you are a self-employed

business or farm ow

ner, you will report your net incom

e. W

hat if I am self-em

ployed? Report income from

that work as a net

amount. This is calculated by subtracting the total operating

expenses of your business from its gross receipts or revenue.

D) Report income from

public assistance/child support/alim

ony. Report all income that applies in the “Public

Assistance/Child Support/Alimony” field on the application. Do

not report the cash value of any public assistance benefits NO

T listed on the chart. If incom

regular payments should be reported as “other” incom

e in the next part.

E) Report income from

Report all income that applies in the

“Pensions/Retirement/ All O

ther Incom

mem

Adults).” This number M

UST be equal to the num

ber of household m

embers listed in STEP 1 and STEP 3. If there are any m

embers of

your household that you have not listed on the application, go back and add them

. It is very important to list all household m

embers, as

the size of your household affects your eligibility for free and reduced price m

eals.

G) Provide the last four digits of your Social Security N

umber.

An adult household mem

ber must enter the last four digits of

their Social Security Num

ber in the space provided. You are eligible to apply for benefits even if you do not have a Social Security N

umber. If no adult household m

embers have a Social

Security Num

ber, leave this space blank and mark the box to the

right labeled “Check if no SSN.”

STEP 4: CON

TACT INFO

RMATIO

N AN

D ADULT SIG

NATU

RE

All applications must be signed by an adult m

ember of the household. By signing the application, that household m

ember is prom

ising that all information has been truthfully

and completely reported. Before com

pleting this section, please also make sure you have read the privacy and civil rights statem

ents on the back of the application. A) Provide your contact inform

ation. Write your current

address in the fields provided if this information is available.

If you have no permanent address, this does not m

ake your children ineligible for free or reduced price school m

eals. Sharing a phone num

ber, email address, or both is optional,

but helps us reach you quickly if we need to contact you.

B) Print and sign your name. Print

the name of the adult signing the

In the space provided, w

ethnicity. This field is optional and does not affect your children’s eligibility for free or reduced price school m

eals.
