Summary: Potential pending policy changes could negatively impact students on free or reduced lunches. Standards for SNAP (food stamps) could be tightened & families would be disqualified from that program, which automatically enrolls them in the free/reduced lunch program. Families can still apply for free/reduced lunches, by filling out a form. Immigration "public charge" policy changes could see families with US citizen children & parents working toward citizenship hesitant to use SNAP even though their child legally qualifies for it due to fear of having their citizenship application rejected.
