Provision 2. Provision 2 requires that the school serve meals to participating children at no charge but reduces application burdens to once every four years. It also simplifies meal counting and claiming procedures by allowing a school to receive meal reimbursement based on claiming percentages.

Provision 2 enables the school district to provide all meals at no charge to all students (do not refer to the meals as free because of the misconception of receiving the free rate of reimbursement). Meals are required to be served at the point of service by meal category and student eligibility.

Provision 2 During the first year, or base year, the school makes eligibility determinations and takes meal counts by type. During the next 3 years, the school makes no new eligibility determinations and counts only the total number of reimbursable meals served each day.

California Universal Meals is the first of its kind in the country. Since the start of this meal program last year, children no longer need to pay for their lunches using cash, tickets or punching in their student identification. Breakfast and lunch are free at all California schools — no application is required.
