About the Dataset

This data set contains claims information for meal reimbursement for CACFP participating as Adult Day Care centers for program year 2019-2020. The CACFP program year begins October 1 and ends September 30.

In March 2020, USDA began allowing flexibility in nutrition assistance program policy to support continued meal access should the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) impact meal service operation. Sites participating in these flexibilities are indicated in the newly added COVID Meal Site column of this dataset. For more information on the waivers implemented for this purpose, please visit our website at SquareMeals.org.

This dataset only includes claims submitted by CACFP sites participating as Adult Day Care centers. Sites can participate in multiple CACFP sub-programs. For reimbursement data on CACFP participants operating as Day Care Homes, Child Care Centers, At-Risk Child Care Centers, Head Start Centers, emergency shelters, or centers providing care for students outside school hours, please refer to the corresponding “Child and Adult Care Food Programs (CACFP) – Meal Reimbursement” dataset for that sub-program available on the State of Texas Open Data Portal.
