AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Schools must verify lunch count data before submitting reimbursement claims.
  • Impacted Requirements: Claims must reflect accurate counts of free, reduced, and paid lunches served to eligible children.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement regular checks to ensure lunch counts are accurate before claims are submitted.

Finding Text

7 CFR Part 210.8(a)(s) states, “Prior to the submission of a monthly Claim for Reimbursement, each school food authority shall review the lunch count data for each school under its jurisdiction to ensure the accuracy of the monthly Claim for Reimbursement. The objective of this review is to ensure that monthly claims include only the number of free, reduced price and paid lunches served on any day of operation to children currently eligible for such lunches.”

Corrective Action Plan

The District will consider possible additional training and other opportunities to increase the likelihood that an error like this does not occur again.
