This report, the fifth in a serious of reports about the evaluation of the National School Lunch Program focuses on issues relating to applications for free or reduced-price meals. In particular, it presents (1) an impact analysis of the effects of the pilot policies on the number of applications submitted, and (2) a descriptive analysis of the accuracy of eligibility status determinations made by the School Food Authorities (SFAs). The analyses address these main research questions: (1) How did the UFD and GV pilot interventions affect the percentage of students who applied for free or reduced-price meal benefits? In households that were income eligible for benefits but did not apply for them, what reasons did parents give for not applying? (2) Were the SFAs' determinations of eligibility status consistent with those calculated using data that households supplied in interviews conducted for the evaluation? (3) Are differences due to administrative errors (disagreement between SFAs' determinations and eligibility status calculated by MPR from the information provided on the application and associated documentation) or reporting differences (inconsistencies between information reported on surveys and that provided with the applications)? (4) What are the specific reasons for these two types of discrepancies? Contains 21 Tables, 1 figure, and 3 charts. Appended are: (1) Supplemental Tables for Chapter II; (2) Supplemental Tables for Chapter III; (3) Supplemental Tables for Chapter IV; (4) Supplemental Tables for Chapter V; and (5) Household Characteristics Associated with Differences between SFA Decision.
