Summer Meal Programs - Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) - Meal Count Information - Program Period 2020

<b><a href=https://form.jotform.com/212795081587163 target="_blank">Help us provide the most useful data by completing our ODP User Feedback Survey for Summer Meal Programs Data</a></b><p>

<b>About the Dataset</b><br>

This dataset contains <b> claimed meals served by sites participating in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for summer 2020 (SNP program year 2019-2020).</b> Summer meal programs operate mid-May through the end of August.<p>

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. This included early operation of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless Summer Option (SSO). Sites participating in these flexibilities are indicated in the newly added <b><i>COVID Meal Site</b></i> column of this dataset. For more information on the waivers implemented for this purpose, please visit our website at <a href=http://www.SquareMeals.org target=""_blank"">SquareMeals.org</a>. <p>

<b>This dataset contains site-level claimed meal counts. </b>Reimbursement data is collected at the sponsor level and is reported in the “Summer Meal Programs – Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) – Meal Reimbursements” dataset for the program year. <p>

<b>Dataset change as of October 4, 2019:</b> Meal Average Daily Participation (ADP) will no longer be included as part of this dataset. Second meals served results in variety in which ADP can be calculated. The end-user can now determine the method of calculating ADP as per their need.<p>

For data on sites participating in the Seamless Summer Option (SSO), please refer to the Summer Meal Programs – Seamless Summer Option – Meal Counts and Meal Reimbursement datasets available on the State of Texas Open Data Portal.

<b>About Dataset Updates</b><br>

TDA aims to post new program year data by July 15 of the active program period. <b>Participants have 60 days to file monthly claims.</b> Dataset updates will occur monthly until 90 days after the close of the program period. After 90 days from the close of the program period, the dataset will be updated at six months and one year from the close of program period before becoming archived. Archived datasets will remain published but will not be updated. Any data posted during the active program year is subject to change.<p>
