The letter should state that for students who have been certified, continued eligibility is in no way dependent upon the student's working status. Additionally, the letter should not be a part of, nor attached to, the free and reduced price letter to parents, application or notice of approval/denial. 60.2. Students who work in the food service program can be given a free lunch. However, free or reduced price meal reimbursement may not be claimed unless the students' application has been approved in accordance with their eligibility, eitherfull price, reduced price or free.
