Free/Reduced Price Lunch Program (FRLP)
OCSA's policy is to provide free/reduced-price lunches to students of families who are eligible for the National School Lunch Program. For your child(ren) to receive free/reduced priced benefits from OCSA, you must submit an annual OCSA Free/Reduced Lunch Program (FRLP) application. The information contained on your FRLP application may be shared with Administrators of other OCHSA programs, such as the After-School Student Program, School Registration, Locker Rentals, Parking Permits, and Student Services, for which your family may qualify for free/reduced pricing.
Currently, OCSA has the following free/reduced pricing schedule for families who qualify and have been accepted into the OCSA FRLP program:

National School Lunch Program Eligibility Chart
The household size and income criteria identified below will be used to determine eligibility for free/reduced-price lunch benefits. Children from households whose income is at or below the levels shown here are eligible for a free/reduced-price lunch. Children who receive Food Stamp, California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payments (Kin-GAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits are automatically eligible for a free lunch regardless of the income of the household in which they reside. Eligibility for a foster child is based solely on the amount of the child's “personal use” income.
The following income eligibility guidelines are effective from
July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013

OCSA Free/Reduced Lunch Program (FRLP) FAQs:
I applied last year and was accepted. Do I need to apply again for the new school year?
Yes. You must submit a new FRLP application each school year and be re-approved.
How do I apply?
If you qualify, based on your annual income and household size as listed above, please print out and complete the OCSA FRLP application listed in the right column -->. Only fill out ONLY ONE APPLICATION PER HOUSEHOLD! We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information and sign that all information is correct.
Return the completed application to the address above. If your household currently receives Food Stamps, TANF, or FDPIR benefits, your child may automatically qualify for benefits; however, you MUST still return the form indicating that you are participating in these programs.
Who can get free or reduced price lunch?
Children in households getting Food Stamps, TANF, or FDPIR, and most foster children (under the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court) can get free lunch regardless of income. Also, if your household income is within the limits on the Income Eligibility Guidelines, your children can receive free or reduced priced lunch. Homeless, runaway, and migrant children may qualify for lunch benefits, check with the school liaison for these circumstances. Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for lunch benefits. Children do not have to be a U.S. citizen to qualify for lunch benefits.
Are there any other items that are free/discounted because my family is eligible for this program?
Yes, all OCSA students in a qualified family can receive free/discounted pricing on several school related items. For more information see the FRLP Fee Schedule listed above.
Can my child choose any food item from the menu?
No. All students that qualify for FRLP will receive a free “Daily Special” meal from our cafeteria. All ala cart menu items including breakfast items will be at their own cost. Click here for more information.
Will the information I submit on my application be checked?
Yes. You may be asked to submit proof of the information you provide at any time during the school year. You must include income of all people living in your household, related or not (such as grandparents, cousins or friends). If you are a single parent residing at your parent’s home, you must include their income on the application.
Who will know if my child is on this program?
All applications and records concerning FRLP shall be confidential, and shall not be open to examination for any purpose not directly connected with the administration of this program. Those accessing FRLP information could include Administrators of OCSA programs, such as the OCSA Food Srevice program, After-School Student Program, School Registration, Locker Rentals, Parking Permits, AP Testing, College Transcripts, and Student Services, for which your family may qualify for free/reduced pricing.
If I don’t qualify now, may I apply again later?
Yes. You may apply at any time during the school year if your household size goes up, or income goes down.
What if I disagree with the decision about my FRLP application?
You may ask for an explanation by contacting Becky Parsons at 714-560-0900, ext. 5535 or at becky.parsons@ocsarts.net .
