FAQs for OCSA’s Free/Reduced Lunch Program (FRLP)
How do I apply?
If you qualify, based on your annual income and household size as listed above, please print and complete an OCSA FRLP
application. To download an application, visit www.ocsarts.net/ApplyFRLP. Please complete ONLY ONE APPLICATION PER
HOUSEHOLD. We cannot approve incomplete applications. Please be sure to carefully complete all required information and sign
the form to avoid delays in approval.
Please return the completed application to:
OCSA Business Office
Becky. Parsons
1010 N. Main St.
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Return the completed application to the address above or by fax to 714-664-0463, or by email to becky.parsons@ocsrts.net . If your
household currently receives FDPIR benefits, CalFresh, or CalWORKs your child may automatically qualify for benefits; however,
you MUST still return the form indicating that you are participating in these programs.
Who can get free or reduced price lunch?
Children in households getting CalFresh, CalWORKS, or FDPIR and most foster children (under the legal responsibility of a welfare
agency or court) can get free lunch regardless of income. Also, if your household income is within the limits on the Income Eligibility
Guidelines, your children can receive free or reduced priced lunch. Homeless, runaway, and migrant children may qualify for lunch
benefits, check with the school liaison for these circumstances. Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for
lunch benefits. Children do not have to be a U.S. citizen to qualify for lunch benefits.
Are there any other items that may be free/discounted because my family is eligible for this program?
Yes, all OCSA students in a qualified family can receive free/discounted pricing on several school related items. For more
information see the FRLP Fee Schedule listed at www.ocsarts.net/FRLP.
Can my child choose any food item from the menu?
No. All students that qualify for FRLP will receive a free “Daily Special” meal from our cafeteria which includes an entrée, whole fruit
and milk or water. All a la cart menu items including breakfast items will be at their own cost. Visit www.ocsarts.net/FRLPmenu for
more information.
Will the information I submit on my application be checked?
Yes. You may be asked to submit proof of the information you provide at any time during the school year. You must include income
of all people living in your household, related or not (such as grandparents, cousins or friends). If you are a single parent residing at
your parent’s home, you must include their income on the application.
Who will know if my child is on this program?
All applications and records concerning FRLP shall be confidential, and shall not be open to examination for any purpose not
directly connected with the administration of this program. Those accessing FRLP information could include Administrators of OCSA
programs, such as the OCSA Food Service program, After-School Student Program, School Registration, Locker Rentals, Parking
Permits, AP Testing, Collage Transcripts, and Student Services, for which your family may qualify for free/reduced pricing.
If I don’t qualify now, may I apply again later?
Yes. You may apply at any time during the school year if your household size goes up or income goes down.
What if I disagree with the decision about my FRLP application?
You may ask for an explanation by calling or writing Becky Parsons at becky.parsons@ocsarts.net or 714-560-0900, ext. 5535.
