Abstract	This report examines the effectiveness and results of the federally prescribed procedures and processes that school food authorities use to verify student eligibility for free and reduced-price meals under the School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. While school districts surveyed were found, on the whole, to comply with Federal regulations, a high rate of application errors was found. Regulations do not require districts to expand their verification efforts despite high error rates and thus many students receiving inappropriate benefits are not being detected. This report analyzes the data and provides suggestions for improving effectiveness of verification and eligibility processes. (CG)
