If your student should leave the school district you are responsible for any outstanding meal
balances due. If you would like a refund of any remaining positive meal balance, you must
request it in writing within 30 days from the last date of attendance. Failure to do so will result in
that balance being forfeit. You can submit a refund request to [email protected].
Free and Reduced Information:
The State of New Jersey will be reimplementing the Free and Reduced program for the
2025-2026 school year. This program is used to determine eligibility for free or reduced meals
for the student, free college applications, state funding and other programs through the state. All
families are encouraged to complete the application to determine eligibility.
Please keep in mind that you must complete a School Meals and Summer EBT application EVERY school year. If you have already received a letter from us stating that your family was directly certified from the State for 25-26, then you DO NOT need to do anything.
When you submit your application you will receive a determination letter. It is important that you keep this determination letter as your proof of eligibility in the program whether or not you were directly certified or you submitted an online or paper application. If you do not receive a determination letter after having applied, please contact Donna Marra asap at [email protected] or 732-723-2200 x5030.
If we have not received your application for 2025-2026, by 30 days from the start of the school year, your benefit eligibility will revert back to paying for meals.

- Follow this link to your Genesis Parent Portal to fill out the necessary application. Under the forms tab, at the bottom of the page, is the online application portal.
