Condition: Submitted food service claims did not match the support records for the
number of meals and/or snacks claimed for any of the four months tested.
In total, the support showed meals were underclaimed. Although there was a
documented review of claims, the control did not prevent incorrect meal
counts from being claimed and did not occur before claims were submitted.
Criteria: The supporting documentation did not agree to meals claimed on monthly
claim reimbursements as required by 7 CFR Section 210.8.
Cause: Accurate support was not maintained for monthly claim reimbursements.
Effect: Monthly claim reimbursements were inaccurate.
Recommendation: The School should verify support for number of meals served matches what
is input in the monthly claim reimbursement before being submitted.
