Meal Benefit
The Meal Benefits Application allows parents/guardians and emancipated students to electronically submit Meal Benefits Applications to their district.
In order to complete the Meal Benefits Application, the application signer must complete the following steps:
To access the Meal Benefits Application:
- Log into Campus Parent
- Navigate to More
- Select Meal Benefits Application
Review the Letter to Household
The application signer must review the Letter to Household prior to beginning the application process. This letter contains important information and guidance about the online Meal Benefits Application.
After you review or print the letter for reference, click the Next button to review the application's instructions.
Review Application Instructions
The application signer must also review the Application Instructions prior to beginning the application process. These instructions can also be printed and contain important information about the application process and submission.
After you review or print the Application Instructions for reference, click the Next button. The Signer Confirmation screen displays.
Review and Confirm Signer
Once both the Letter to Household and Application Instructions have been reviewed, the person completing the online application must confirm their identity as the application signer.
If the identity information is correct, select the Next button.
Confirm Household Members
The application signer must confirm all people living within their household.
Mark the checkbox next to the name of each person within your household. Once all members have been marked, select the Next button.
If a person is listed that should not be considered a household member, do not mark the checkbox next to their name. This does not remove them from the household within Campus, but does exclude them from the application.
In order to complete the remaining steps of the application process, it is critical Household members are identified.
If a household member does not appear in the list, you can manually add them. This often occurs when someone has just moved into the household or the person filling out the application does not have access to a specific family member within the Portal.
- Click the Add Household Member button. The Add Student/Non-Student Member window displays.
- Select whether the person is a Student or Non-Student. A Student is a household member who will be enrolled in the district during the school year. A Non-Student is any household member who will not be enrolled in the district during the school year. Enter information about the household member in all required fields and select the Update button. Required fields display with a red asterisk.
- The added household member appears on the Household Members screen with the words (Manual Add) appearing after the person's name. To remove the person from the household, select Delete. The School and Grade (and Student Number, if known) fields are important for application processing as the FRAM Processor uses these fields to better identify and match this student to records within Campus.
- Once all household members have been identified, select the Next button.
Indicate Meal Benefits
Once household members have been identified, the application signer is asked whether any household members receive SNAP, TANF or FDPIR benefits.
| If household member(s)… | Then… |
|---|---|
| do NOT receive benefits | Select No and click Next. |
| DO receive SNAP, TANF or FDPIR benefits | Select Yes. Enter the benefit case number then click Next. |
