FREE AND REDUCED MEAL APPLICATION
IT'S MORE THAN A MEAL APPLICATION!
The Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB) application may qualify you for meal benefits, Summer EBT (SUN Bucks), fee waivers on ASB cards and programs, sport events, extracurricular activities, and other events and programs. Unless you are directly certified through Basic Food, TANF, FDPIR, SNAP or other assistance programs for the 2024-25 school year, you must fill out a new CNEEB application each school year to be eligible for meals and/or fee waivers. You must also consent to share your eligibility status with those programs.
Even if your student attends Blaine Primary or Blaine Elementary and receives meals through Meals for Washington Students Fund (HB 1238), you should fill out a CNEEB application for other benefits and to ensure that these schools remain qualified for this program and other educational funding.
