Complete Your School Meal Form Today 23-24 Education Benefits Form with Annual Income Ranges.

Michigan School Meals provide quality food that fuels good education. The new state investment allows all students to eat one breakfast and one lunch for free each day of the entire school year if they choose.  

Even though all meals are free for the 2023-24 school year, there are other education benefits provided to the district, individual school building, or household that require an individual student benefit (free, reduced, paid) to be determined each year. 

We’re asking every family to complete and submit either the School Meal Application or Education Benefits Form (formerly the Household Information Report.) The information collected is used to provide additional services and benefits beyond school meals, like resources for classrooms, teachers, and children, guidance and college counselors, and health and wellness services. Summer EBT benefits are also available for eligible households. Talk to your school about which form you need. 

Talk to your school's office about school meal forms today.

School Meal Forms

Schools and households in Michigan rely on Education Benefits to receive additional services throughout the school year, which is why every household is being asked to complete income documentation for their district to continue to receive this funding.  

What forms are required?

• You will be asked to fill out either a School Meals Application or an Education Benefits form (formerly the Household Information Report) depending on your school. 

How do I know which form to fill out? And where can I get it?

• Contact your school office to get the proper form.

Why should I fill out the School Meals Application or Household Information Report?

• School funding. We need all families to fill out this form so that your district receives the necessary resources to continue to provide all students with the highest quality education, including funding for things like computers, books, school supplies, and more.
• Technology funding. Your district receives more funding for internet access and computers.
• Grocery benefits. Filling out this form may help provide your family with money for groceries through P-EBT.

• College application discounts. If your household qualifies, you can receive discounts for college application fees.
• Athletics. If your household qualifies, you may receive discounts for fees associated with participating in athletics.
• Summer EBT. If your household qualifies, you will receive Summer EBT benefits per eligible student.

Do I need to fill out a form for each student?

• No, only one (1) application per household needs to be completed, either the School Meal Application or Education Benefits form. Please include the names of all students enrolled in your district on the form.

Is the information I provide confidential?
