Frequently Asked Questions

Should I fill out an application if I received a Direct Certification Letter this school year saying my children are approved for free meals?

No, but please read the letter carefully and follow the instructions. Call Liz Fulton (480-909-4446) at the Legacy Traditional School Office if you have questions or to check on eligibility status. Each child receives an individual letter; contact us if you do not get a letter for each student.

Can I apply online?

Yes. We prefer you to complete an online application instead of a paper application. It has the same requirements and will ask you the same information as the paper application. Visit family.titank12.com/application/new to begin this process. Please submit one way only, online or paper application to help the processing of applications. Contact Liz Fulton, Legacy Traditional School, 3125 Gilbert Road, Chandler, AZ 85286; phone at 480-909-4446 or email food@legacytraditional.org and/or refer to the information below to complete a paper application.

I’d prefer a paper application, where do I go to fill one out?

The front office has English and Spanish paper applications available.

Do I need to fill out an application for each child?

No. Use one Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application for all students in your household. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information. Return the completed application to the school office. Securely attach a paper for additional family members and income information if necessary. Contact food@legacytraditionalschool.org for applications that can be translated in 33 languages or visit the following website: http://www.fns.usda.gov/school-meals/family-friendly-application-translations.

My child’s application was approved last year. Do I need to fill out another one?

Yes. Your child’s application is only good for that school year and for the first few weeks of this school year. If you do not send in a new application that is approved by the District Office or you have not been notified that your child is eligible for free or reduced-price meals, your child will be charged the full price for meals.

I receive WIC benefits. Can my child(ren) get free meals?

Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Please fill out and submit an application.

Will the information I give be checked?

Yes, and we may also ask you to send written proof.

If I don’t qualify now, may I apply later?

Yes, you may apply at any time during the school year. For example, children with a parent or guardian who becomes unemployed may become eligible for free and reduced-price meals if the household income drops below the income limit.

What if I disagree with the school’s decision about my application?

You should talk to school officials. You may also ask for a hearing by contacting Alamo Ranch Principal Eddie Woods (edward.woods@legacytraditional.org) or Cibolo Principal Christopher Turner (christopher.turner@legacytraditional.org).

May I apply if someone in my household is not a U.S. citizen?

Yes. You or your child(ren) do not have to be U.S. citizens to qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

What if my income is not always the same?

List the amount that you normally receive. For example, if you normally make $1000 each month, but you missed some work last month and only made $900, put down that you made $1000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but do not include it if you only work overtime sometimes. If you have lost a job or had your hours or wages reduced, use your current income.

What if some household members have no income to report?

Household members may not receive some types of income we ask you to report on the application, or may not receive income at all. Whenever this happens, please write a 0 in the field. However, if any income fields are left empty or blank, those will also be counted as zeroes. Please be careful when leaving income fields blank, as we will assume you meant to do so.

We are in the military. Do we report our income differently?

Your basic pay and cash bonuses must be reported as income. If you get any cash value allowances for off-base housing, food, or clothing, it must also be included as income. However, if your housing is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your housing allowance as income. Any additional combat pay resulting from deployment is also excluded from income.

My spouse is deployed to a combat zone. Is his/her combat pay counted as income?

No, if the combat pay is received in addition to the basic pay because of the deployment and it wasn’t received before he/she was deployed, combat pay is not counted as income. Contact food@legacytraditionalschool.org for more information.

My family needs more help. Are there other programs we might apply for?

To find out how to apply for SNAP or other assistance benefits, contact your local assistance office or call 1-800-352-8401.

How do I know if my children qualify as homeless, migrant, or runaway?

Do the members of your household lack a permanent address? Are you staying together in a shelter, hotel, or other temporary housing arrangement? Does your family relocate on a seasonal basis? Are any children living with you who have chosen to leave their prior family or household? If you believe children in your household meet these descriptions and have not been notified that your children will get free meals, please e-mail Alamo Ranch Principal Eddie Woods (edward.woods@legacytraditional.org) or Cibolo Principal Christopher Turner (christopher.turner@legacytraditional.org) for qualification. McKinney-Vento eligibility must be determined or re-established for each school year.

The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requires the information requested in order to verify your children’s eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. If you do not provide the information or provide incomplete information, your children may no longer receive free or reduced-price meals.
