Claim Override Request
If any of these situations occur when preparing your claim, you must submit a Claim Override Request:
-
Claim in excess of allowed meals in one eligibility: The number of meals in a single eligibility exceed the number of students multiplied by the number of operating days adjusted to the attendance factor and the site does not qualify for an Alternative Attendance Factor
-
Claim for zero meals: The school served no reimbursable meals but needs to submit a claim to provide enrollment data. This should only be used if the school INTENDS to operate meals but did not due to a temporary situation such as staff shortage, strike, or other temporary issue. DO NOT use this form if you have no intent or expectation that the site will open during the current school year.
-
Combining first or last claims other than August/September or May/June combinations: If the first or last month has ten or fewer operating days, the claim may be combined with the adjacent claim. CNP Web does not accept combined claims other than August with September or June with May. If you need to claim a different pair of months, you must use this form.
Instructions
- You must prepare your claim as much as is possible in CNP Web. This includes each site claim sheet (even those with errors) and your FFVP claim.
- Once the claim is complete in CNP Web as much as is possible, complete the Claim Override Request (available in the CNP Web Checklist Tab under “Additional Forms")
 3.On this form, enter the SFA or Sponsor’s name as it appears in CNP Web and the month and year of the claim
4. List each school that is in error status on your claim and check the reason(s) that an override is requested
5. Enter the total number of meals and FFVP claim total reported on your Sponsor Claim
6. Sign and date the form (you may use an e-Signature, signature stamp, or print, sign, and scan)
7. Submit the form using the link: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/dddcd981c96c4ea8b8f9d9c069f18430
Your claim must be in pending approval status 60 days after the last day of the claim month. This claim override request must be received no later than 50 days after the last day of the claim month, to allow for processing time so that your claim is in pending approval status within 60 days.
