- 2Find the child in the list.
- 3Click the child's name to open their eligibility record.
- 4Select the eligibility category: Free, Reduced, or Paid.
- 5Enter the determination date and expiration date.
- 6Click Save.
Eligibility Categories
- Free: Family income is at or below 130% of the federal poverty level.
- Reduced: Family income is between 130% and 185% of the federal poverty level.
- Paid: Family income exceeds 185% of the federal poverty level.
Eligibility determinations expire annually. Neztio will alert you when a child's eligibility is approaching expiration so you can request updated documentation.
