Can schools use the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) to determine a student's eligibility for fee waiver benefits?

Schools and districts that meet the criteria and choose to participate in CEP can't use a student's enrollment in CEP to determine eligibility for fee waiver benefits. This is because all students in these schools or districts, regardless of family income, are automatically eligible for free meals. Accordingly, CEP schools and districts must determine each student's eligibility for fee waiver benefits.
