Welcome! Getting started on your Educational Benefits Form (EBF)

All JCPS schools now participate in the Community Eligibility (CE) Provision. All JCPS students are eligible to receive a reimbursable breakfast and lunch at no charge, regardless of income or completion of this form. However, to determine eligibility for various additional state and federal program benefits that your child may qualify for and to determine funding for your school, please complete this online EBF form.

Preschool Students

  • If any JCPS students in the household attend a Preschool program, please complete a red paper Application for Free and Reduced-Price School Meals for them so that we can capture eligibility for Snacks. You can obtain the paper form from the Preschool teacher or school.
  • Do you need to complete this form?

  • If you received a letter this school year indicating that your child is directly certified, please read the letter carefully - you may not need to complete a form.
  • Call us at 485-6237 or 485-3986 with any questions.
  • What you will need to provide during the online form process:

    • The names and incomes of every member of your household (unless the household receives SNAP, KTAP or FDPIR).
    • Don't forget to include infants, toddlers and students attending non-JCPS schools, grandparents, friends or other relatives who share income and expenses.
    • (Optional) The school, grade, and birthdate of every student in your household.
