Program Description
Schools in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Programs may also participate in the Special Milk Program to provide milk to children in half-day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs where children do not have access to the school meal programs.
Program Requirements
For this benefit program, you must be a resident of the state of Connecticut. Income eligibility guidelines are used to determine eligibility for free and reduced priced meals or free milk.
In order to qualify, you must have an annual household income (before taxes) that is below the following amounts:
Household Size* | Maximum Income Level (Per Year) |
---|---|
1 | $22,459 |
2 | $30,451 |
3 | $38,443 |
4 | $46,435 |
5 | $54,427 |
6 | $62,419 |
7 | $70,411 |
8 | $78,403 |
If you are earning at or below current Income Eligibility Guidelines, we encourage you to contact your school to fill out a school meal application. The school or local education agency will process your application and issue an eligibility determination.
If you are receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, your child automatically qualifies for free school meals. If you are eligible for unemployment compensation, you might also be eligible for free or reduced price school meals.
Because many programs offer services to families that may qualify them under other local criteria, we strongly recommend you contact the program in your community for more information and guidance.
Application Process
To apply for the Special Milk Program contact your state agency.
You may also visit the Connecticut State Department of Education Child Nutrition Program’s Online Claim System to file a claim online.
