Age for Participation in School Food Programs

There is no age restriction for participation in meal programs as long as students are enrolled in day school and working toward graduation or a GED (not just upgrading skills). Participation in the SMP is limited to those under age 19. In a case where mentally or physically disabled students are participating in a school program, there is no age limit. In RCCIs, eligible children must be 21 years of age or less.
