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 month's 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
