A sponsor organization submits a reimbursement claim to the CDE for every month in which one or more sites participates in the School Nutrition Program. Sponsors may enter sponsor and site information into the monthly claim form beginning at the first of every month. Organizations have sixty days from the last day of the claim month/year to submit an original claim
At the time claims are submitted, they are checked by the system to ensure they conform to established business rules governing reimbursement claim eligibility and approval.
Sponsors use the Claims Menu to access claim functions (SNP, SMP, or SSFO), view current claim rates, or view payment summaries. From the menu, click a claims item to access that claim function.
Various dates display throughout the claims function of CNIPS.
