For more information on CEP and how schools are selected, please see our FAQ. 

To help ensure your child’s school receives the full amount of federal and state funding available and your child is receiving all the services they are eligible for, the school must have a way to identify households that are at or below the federal poverty level. Certain funding is based on this information. That is why it is so important for you to return this information to your school. Please complete the Educational Benefits Form (EBF) as soon as possible.

Educational Benefits Form

* If your children attend CEP and Non-CEP schools, DO NOT fill out this EBF form. Instead, submit the application under Non-CEP Schools for free/reduced meal status.
