The Direct Certification with Medicaid (DC-M) demonstration enables selected States and districts to use Medicaid files to directly certify students for free meals. Under the demonstration, students are eligible for free meals if they are (1) enrolled in Medicaid and (2) in a household with a gross income below 133 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Students in a household with a child who meets these two criteria are also eligible for free school meals under DC-M.
