Nutrition Program State Reimbursement Payment for the National School Lunch
Program |
Federal
Regulations (7CFR 210.17) require states to appropriate a minimum level of
state funds to be paid as reimbursement to school divisions that participate in
the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
The required minimum funding level for Virginia is $ 5,801,932.
The per meal
lunch reimbursement rate is calculated by dividing the funding level by the
total number of lunches served in the previous school year. The per meal reimbursement rate for lunches
served in the 2004-2005 school year is $0.049085. Attached is a chart that details the total NSLP state
reimbursement payment for each school division. Each divisions reimbursement amount is equal to the 2004-2005
reimbursement rate multiplied by the number of lunch meals served and reported
by the division in the 2004-2005 school year.
The state
lunch reimbursement will be paid by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) on
October 16, 2005. These funds will be
identified as School Nutrition State Match on the electronic transfer
document and must be credited to the school nutrition account.
Questions may be directed to Lynne A. Fellin, acting director of School Nutrition Programs, at (804) 225-2074 or to the assigned school nutrition program specialist.
