How it works
How Free school meals works in Maine
Free school meals uses household details and income rules to estimate whether a household is inside the current Maine limit. The table above is generated from the same threshold dataset loaded by the screener.
The screener adds household details such as children, pregnancy, rent or mortgage, and utilities before sending one API request for an estimate.
