Emergency Operational Costs Reimbursement Program
The USDA provided a program to reimburse schools for the period of March 15, 2020 - June 30, 2020 for a portion of school nutrition earnings lost when COVID closures impacted the 2020 school year. The formula provided by the USDA dictated how much any sponsor would receive. Some sponsors received none as they weren’t eligible. The disbursements have been processed this week and will be in bank accounts in the coming days. The funds are to be spent per the USDA guidelines specified for the Emergency Operational Reimbursement for COVID, and schools should code this revenue the same as the regular SNP program payments which is 4550.
The payment report is posted online here.
