Other Source Categorically Eligible Programs include:
Acceptable methods for identifying children who are Other Source Categorically Eligible include:
- Submission of a household application that indicates “Other Source Categorical Eligibility” for one or more children;
- A form letter from the Other Source Categorically Eligible agency to the household, which in turn, the household provides to the school;
- Submission to the determining official of a list of Other Source Categorically Eligible children compiled by the SFA
*Note- Other Source Categorical Eligibility of a child does not convey eligibility to other children in the household. If the household of an Other Source Categorically Eligible child submits an application, the applicable programs must be indicated. With the exception of a foster child, the SFA official must contact the Other Source Categorically Eligible agency liaison to confirm that the children are eligible under one of these programs before free benefits are provided.
