Educational Benefits Application & FAQs

Educational Benefits Fair Hearing Procedure

Households that disagree with the meal benefit determination made on an Application for Educational Benefits or as a result of the verification process have a right to appeal the benefit determination decision. During the appeal and hearing process, meal benefits, which were determined on the face value of the application submitted, will continue to be received. Appeals Conference Prior to initiating the fair hearing procedure, the school hearing official, the parent or guardian may request an appeal conference to provide an opportunity to discuss the situation present information, obtain an explanation of information submitted in the application, and the benefit decision rendered. The appeals conference is informal in nature and may be held in person, virtually, or by phone. Local Education Agency (LEA) participants may include the determining official and/or School Nutrition Program Director. The appeals conference provides an opportunity for the household to clarify information provided on the Applications for Educational Benefits.
