Section 9(b)(3) of the NSLA and regulations at 7 CFR 245.6a(c)(1) establish requirements for LEAs in conducting verification of eligibility for free and reduced price meals based on applications in participating schools. Verification is only required when eligibility is determined through the application process and is not required for eligibility determinations made through the direct certification process.
 
The Eligibility Manual for School Meals provides comprehensive information on the Federal requirements, policies, and procedures for establishing eligibility in the USDA School Meals Programs.
