A question I’ve always had:

Here in Indiana, we have 369,000 children on the Govt breakfast and lunch program. And the schools are also open in the summer to serve breakfast and lunch even though class is not in session.

Is this amount of free food considered in the calculation of the food stamp benefits supplied to the family?

No. I the family is receiving food stamps the children are automatically placed in the lunch program.

In the state of Colorado the calculation is not considered...they do not deduct the cost of the free lunches and breakfasts from the monthly food stamp amount

I don't know for a fact but I suspect that it is not. That would require logic and inter-governmental cooperation in an effort to minimize the expense and protect the taxpayer.

Therefore I am almost certain that I am correct in my suspicions.

Here in Washington, the schools serve free box lunches to anyone under the age of 18. All they have to do is show up. It’s not need based or anything.

Would that not go against this administration policy of getting as many people with as much payout as possible to get the US to the Cloward Piven strategy to bring down the country to rebuild into their wet dream socialist nightmare ....
