Can the unused portion of prepaid meals be refunded?
Yes. Districts may refund the unused portion of prepaid meals by check from the Food Service Fund revolving bank account, or if necessary, from daily cash receipts. For refunds made from daily cash receipts, a Meal Card or Ticket Refund Slip should be completed in duplicate for each refund and signed by the parent or student, preparer, and cafeteria manager. The total amount of refunds should be recorded on the Daily Cash Reconciliation Report and returned meal cards should be voided, attached to the original refund slip, and retained with the Daily Cash Reconciliation Report. See USFR pages X-F-22 and 23 for sample forms.
