Who qualifies: income limits, SNAP/TANF/Medicaid and direct certification explained
Summary
CLEAR CREEK ISD staff explained eligibility depends on household income or participation in programs such as SNAP, TANF or Medicaid; some households and foster children are directly certified and will receive a notification letter from the district.
A CLEAR CREEK ISD presenter explained that eligibility for the student-meals program depends on household income and program participation, saying that households enrolled in SNAP, TANF or qualifying Medicaid programs may be directly certified. The presenter said, “इसे direct certification कहते हैं,” and that households in those programs — including foster children — may be approved automatically.
The presenter also clarified who counts as a household: everyone living under the same roof (relatives or not). For households not directly certified, the district recommended submitting the application because the online form calculates eligibility and annual income limits change each year.
