All students enrolled at a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) site receive free meals. CEP students receive one free meal during each serving period and then second meal pricing and a la carte pricing apply. CEP students fed at non-CEP sites still receive free meals.

Students transferring from a non-CEP site to a CEP site immediately receive free meals. Students transferring from a CEP site to a non-CEP site are given an eligibility of Temporary Free - Grace when the transfer results in a reduction of benefits.
