New York City has implemented free lunches for all children up to 18, even through the summer. Sometimes means testing cost more than just providing it universally.
Correction - they are providing it for anybody in the city: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/food/free-meals https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/food/free-meals
- Jtsummers 6y agoMeans testing also creates a barrier because you have to apply. Cultural attitudes towards handouts prevent many people from applying, which hurts their children (in this case). At least some programs stopped doing means testing and made it universal because of that.
