- The household already participates in SNAP or Temporary Assistance, or
- The child is age 7 through 17 and is in foster care, homeless, a migrant or
- The child attends a school that offers the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program, and your household income meets the requirements for Free or Reduced Price Meals.
