  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

STEPS

Let’s explore some steps a sponsoring organization should follow:

    Reconcile daily attendance to enrollment.
  • 2
    Once the enrolled participants that were in attendance during the review period have been identified, reconcile the daily number of enrolled participants in attendance daily to the number of meals claimed each day by meal type.
  • 3
    Does the number of meals claimed each day by meal type exceed the number of participants enrolled and in attendance?
  • 4
    If yes, investigate why.
