The Income Eligibility Guidelines tool allows you to view and set gross income levels for acceptance of free and reduced applications. These guidelines are based on federal standards provided by the USDA in early July of each year. Infinite Campus maintains the income guides and provides updates to them as they are published by the USDA. 

Income levels are based on the number of people actively living in a household, and are provided for Free and Reduced Meal Status settings. To change the view of household incomes, select the School Year and then select the Free or Reduced tab.

Income Levels are created for both free and reduced applications and must be made in numerical order. The Application Wizard will use income levels appearing on this tool to determine application statuses.

Districts can edit values in the Income Eligibility Guidelines tool, but be aware that incorrect Free and Reduced applications may be processed with the wrong eligibility status.

Modifying federal income guidelines is NOT recommended unless you need to add rows for additional household sizes.
