Overview
- Families have one month to apply, with the window that opened Wednesday running through May 28.
- The region allocated €75.4 million for next year after a record 146,000 students received meal aid this school year.
- Eligibility centers on a per‑capita income under €8,400 and extends to groups such as RMI or IMV recipients, victims of gender violence or terrorism, children in foster care, displaced Ukrainians, and families of Armed Forces and national police posted in Madrid.
- RMI or IMV households pay nothing in public schools for a second year, while large families with €8,400–€10,000 per‑capita income receive a 30% discount on the cafeteria fee.
- Applications can be filed through the region’s Digital Account with smart forms, automatic checks, and SMS signatures, or at official registries and schools, and current recipients must reapply and attest they still qualify.
