Title: Study of Non-Response to the School Meals Application Verification Process.
OMB Control Number: 0584-New.
Summary of Collection: The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) provide subsidized lunches and breakfasts to millions of students each school day. Students are certified eligible to receive free or reduced-price (F/RP) meals through application or direct certification. When eligibility is determined using an application process, school districts must annually verify eligibility of children from a sample of household applications for that school year, unless the State agency assumes responsibility for verification. This study will examine the accuracy of district verification procedures.
Need and Use of the Information: Collecting this data will help FNS to understand the approaches districts take to verification, understand the accuracy of the verification process and the results it produces in the context of potential changes, and help to identify potential improvements to the verification process.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; Individuals or Households.
Number of Respondents: 2,144.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 5,535.
