The free or reduced price-lunch program, sometimes referred to as FRPL , refers to the lunches served as part of the National School Lunch Program, a federally assisted meal program that operates in over , public and nonprofit private schools and other residential child care institutions.

The program resulted from the National School Lunch Act of signed by President Truman. Since its inception, when 7. After a number of Americans were found unfit for duty during the WWII draft, investigations showed that many children suffered from poor nutrition.

By the number of children served was 22 million, by almost 27 million, by over 24 million children, and by more than As of more than billion free or reduced lunches have been served through the program as of The program does not directly fund schools to pay for school lunches.

Instead, the USDA or sometimes smaller, state-level organizations reimburses the school with cash or replacement food for each lunch served under the FRPL program. There is also an opportunity for schools to be reimbursed for certain snack food items served at after-school programs.

School lunches served under this program must also adhere to the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans in order to receive reimbursement. To determine which students are eligible for the program, the government uses the current poverty line.

Students whose families are at or below percent of the poverty line are eligible for free school lunches. Students whose families fall between and percent of the poverty rate are eligible for reduced price lunches.

Students whose families are receiving food stamps, as well as students who are homeless, migrant, or runaways may also qualify for free lunches under this program.

In , the FRPL program served As of , the program had served billion lunches to children in schools nationwide. The FRPL program has also been used as a tool to assess poverty. Since the number of students and families who participate in these programs is reported yearly, the program can be a more accurate tool for determining the number of families in poverty than the national census.

This approach loses accuracy with high school-aged students, however, as there is generally lower participation in FRPL programs beyond elementary and middle school. Ballotpedia features , encyclopedic articles written and curated by our professional staff of editors, writers, and researchers.
