This message reminds California school food authorities (SFA) in public school districts (PSD) and county offices of education (COE) of the change to the information that the California Department of Education (CDE) requires on the final claim submission of the school year. This change is specific to the revenue and cost (R&C) data that SFAs submit annually through the Child Nutrition Information and Payment System (CNIPS) as part of the SFA’s last monthly claim for reimbursement for the School Year (SY) 2019–20.
With the availability of alternative resources to obtain unaudited actual financial data, the CDE Child Nutrition Fiscal Services Unit will not require full completion of the CNIPS R&C section from public school districts and county offices of education when submitting the last reimbursement claim for the year.
Since the CDE will not be able to modify the CNIPS, SFAs will still need to submit a simplified data entry in the CNIPS per the instructions below.
After accessing and entering the claim data for the last claiming month for SY 2019–20:
- Select Save
- Select Finish; the Claim Month Details screen will appear
- Claim Items: Claim, Costs, and Summary will appear on the left of the screen
- Select Costs; the Revenue and Cost Data Entry screen will appear on the Claim Cost Details page
- On PART III—Cost Incurred, only enter 1.00 on line 39 Other
- No other data is required on the Claim Cost Details page
- Select Save
- Select Finish
