Alaska Child Nutrition Program

Part I – Elements of Acceptable Point of Service Counting & Claiming Systems Part II – Examples of Meal Counting & Claiming Systems Part III – Unacceptable Meal Counting & Claiming Systems

Eligibility Documentation Collection Procedures Point of Services Meal Counts Daily Lunch Counts Internal Controls Claim for Reimbursements

Acceptable Counting System at the Point of Service That point at which you can determine the student has a reimbursable meal. Salad Bars point of service may be after the POS, but must have monitoring to be sure each student selects there other components. Note: Offer vs. Serve - lunch is reimbursable with 3 components of the required meal pattern.

That point at which you can determine the student has a complete reimbursable meal. Count : Reimbursable meals By category Each day Without overt identification

Acceptable meal counting systems: 1. Class Roster Check List 2. School Roster Check List 3. Ticket System 4. Cash Register Code System 5. Prepaid List 6. Computerized Bar Code I.D. Cards Remember: keep application on file for each student claimed free or reduced Free and Reduced meal count must match student count

The roster or checklist: Use to determine the number of reimbursable meals served in each category. must include the names or numbers of students in each category (free, reduced, & paid).

Name Checklist list of all childrens names check marked by the students name when they have collected a reimbursable meal compared with the master list of names or coded by category Class List teacher or designated person marks off each childs name as served a reimbursable meal. list given to person responsible for recording meal and or/milk counts and matched by student and category.

TAKING COUNTS: 1.Total Meals claimed for Monday is Total Meals claimed for the Week of October 16, 2009 is Daily count cannot be more than Roster saved for 3 years plus the current year to be available for a CRE or audit.

Number Checklist - student has identification number. Number given to the person with the checklist who puts a mark by the students number on the check-list when they take a reimbursable meal. Remember, the method must also prevent overt identification

Point of Service (POS) options: 11 Single line or Multiple line Touch-Screen, ordinary PC, or serving terminal

POS Input Device Options 12 Countertop barcode reader Keypad/barcode reader Fingerprint reader

Are these acceptable point-of-service meal counting procedures? Counts taken in the classroom Number of tickets sold/issued Head counts Tray or entrée counts Counts of lunches prepared Cash converted to meals Category/cash back-out system Delivery counts of meals produced off-site 14 NO

Overt Identification

Overt Identification- Any action that openly identifies children as eligible for free or reduced price benefits in the NSLP, SBP, or SMP A casual observation of your point of service should never be able to tell who is free, reduced, or paid

Scenario #1: There are three serving lines at school A., one serving line is designated as an all-cash line only. Since the majority of the students are eligible for Free and Reduced meals, an all-cash line seemed like an easy way to get students through the serving line more quickly so they can have more time to eat lunch. This also seemed like a practical solution to silence the mounting complaints received from parents who resent the shortened time frame provided to students to eat lunch. No prepayment option is offered at the school.

YES Why? An all cash line is prohibited. Students receiving F/R benefits must not, at any time, be treated differently from students who do not receive these benefits. In this example, there can be no segregation.

Scenario #2: There is one serving line at school B., a cash register is used at the point of service to count meals by category. As each student approaches the cashier they give her their name, the cashier locates the name of the student on the coded roster which is out of the sight of any of the students and then keys in the lunch code by category, the cash register window displays 00 for Free,.40 for Reduced price, and $1.50 for a full paid meal. The cash register window display is in full view of the student population.

YES Why? Eligibility information must never be publicized or used in such a way that student eligibility categories are recognized by other students.

Scenario #3: On Monday morning the classroom teacher collects lunch money from those children who elect to take advantage of the prepayment option offered at the school. A 10% discount is offered to those who pay for lunch in advance for the entire week. Over the course of the school year the classroom teacher discovered this task flows faster if she asks all paid students to line up beside her desk first in order to collect the money. Then the teacher asks the reduced price students to do the same. Each student returns to their desk with 5 lunch tickets, one for each day of the week.

YES Why? The teacher is publicizing to the other students in the classroom, even if it is not intentional, who is eligible for free, reduced and paid lunches. Clearly, some of the free and reduced price students are identified by the other students on a weekly basis.

Each site must have a form of consolidation by category for accurate counting of meals and eligible students. Schools or Residential Child Care Institutions (RCCIs) without a computerized consolidation system an edit check worksheet is an acceptable form of consolidation.

LEA must establish internal controls to ensure that an accurate claim for reimbursement has been made by: Completing daily edit checks Monitoring 28

RCCIs Edit Check Worksheets

Ensure the number of meal counts for the daily meals do not exceed the number of eligible children Once site meal counts and eligible student counts are completed for the month, claim is consolidated by the LEA double check numbers each day each meal service each category Claim is consolidated by the LEA LEA submits to state agency monthly LEA may combine up to 10 operating days from a previous or following month. State agency is responsible for reimbursement
