About the Dataset

This dataset contains claims information for paid or approved to pay meal reimbursement for sites participating in school nutrition programs for program year 2021-2022.

In March 2020, USDA began allowing flexibility in nutrition assistance program policies in order to support continued meal access should the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) impact meal service operation. Flexibilities were extended into the 2021-2022 program year and allowed School Nutrition Programs to operate Seamless Summer Option through the 2021-2022 school year. The School Nutrition Program program year runs July 1 through June 30.

A CE must have an approved School Nutrition Program application on file for the the program year for a CE to operate Seamless Summer Option. Therefore, CEs and sites listed in this School Nutrition Program dataset may be providing meals under the Seamless Summer Option. Please use School Nutrition Program and Seamless Summer Option claims data to determine which program a CE has selected to provide meals.

For more information on the policies implemented for this purpose, please visit our website at SquareMeals.org.
