Students in households with incomes at or below 130% of the poverty level are eligible for free lunches at participating schools. Beginning the 2023-2024 School Year, all students who are eligible for reduced price meals and attend Pennsylvania schools that operate the NSLP receive their meal at no cost.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Pennsylvania's current official lunch-program page describes income-based free lunch and no-cost reduced-price meals, not universal free lunch for every student, so the lunch commitment remains unresolved in the state context as well.
