This study aimed to evaluate parent perceptions of the influence of Massachusetts’ statewide UFSM policy on households eligible and ineligible for FRPM, using a cross-sectional survey of parents across income categories conducted during the 2022-2023 school year. Participants were Massachusetts parents (N = 403) with children in grades kindergarten through grade 12 with incomes ranging from <185% of the federal poverty level to >300% of the federal poverty level. Households that were FRPM eligible or near eligible were significantly more likely to report that their ability to have enough food for their family would be harder without UFSM (P < .0001) compared with those in the highest income category. Across all income categories, approximately 75% of parents reported that school meals should be free for all children, and UFSM saved their family money and time and reduced stress, with no significant differences by FRPM eligibility. Roughly half (52%) reported their household finances would be hurt and 42% of parents from households eligible for FRPM reported their child would be less likely to eat school meals if the UFSM policy ended. This study found strong parent support of UFSM policies regardless of income level. In addition, parents perceived that discontinuing UFSM may adversely influence school meal participation, including among students from lower-income households, as well as food security among households ineligible for FRPM, particularly in areas with higher costs of living. Policies to expand UFSM should be considered among additional states and at the national level.
