Adult day care participants whose household incomes are at or below the levels shown in the appropriate table are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. If any member of the household receives Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), TANF, SNAP or FDPIR benefits, adult participants are eligible for free meals.
