Alternate Income Form FAQ

Alternate Income Form

 

  • The Alternate Income Form is a confidential household form for families with students enrolled in SUSD. The information helps determine how much state and federal funding SUSD receives to support students and schools.

  • Completing the form helps both your family and SUSD schools. It helps schools receive funding for books, classroom supplies, technology, internet access, and student programs. If your household qualifies, you may also be eligible for benefits such as Summer EBT/P-EBT grocery benefits (when available), reduced SAT, ACT, and AP exam fees, college application fee waivers, and reduced athletic participation fees. Every completed form helps maximize funding for all SUSD students.

    Completed forms may be turned in to your school, or to the District Office. 

  • It depends on how you submit the form.

    Online Form: Only one (1) form per household is required. Be sure to list all SUSD students in your household on the application. Access the ONLINE FORM or visit susd12.org → Families → Alternate Income Form.

    Paper Form: A separate form for each student is required. Paper forms are available in English Form and Spanish Form.

  • Yes. All information provided on the Alternate Income Form is kept strictly confidential and is used only to determine eligibility for educational funding and applicable benefits.

  • No. Completing (or not completing) the Alternate Income Form does not affect your child's access to free meals. All KG-12 students attending SUSD CEP schools continue to receive free breakfast and lunch.

  • CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) allows eligible schools to provide free breakfast and lunch to every student without requiring a meal application. While meal applications are no longer needed, SUSD still needs household income information through the Alternate Income Form to qualify for important state and federal education funding.

  • Yes! We encourage every family to complete the Alternate Income Form, regardless of income. Every completed form helps ensure SUSD receives the maximum funding available to support students and schools.
