Description
FSBRKFRC indicates whether the children in the household between the ages of 5 and 18 received free or reduced-cost breakfasts at school in the past 30 days. This question is asked only of household where children received a free or reduced-cost lunch at school (FSLNCHFRC).
This variable is part of the Food Security Supplement.

This variable is comparable across available years, but the universe changes over time. Between 1995 and 1999, this question is asked only of households with incomes below 185% of poverty. From 2000 forward, higher income households that reported running short of money for food (FSSHORT) are also included in the universe.
