How many meals will the CDE approve for reimbursement per day?
The number of meals that are eligible for reimbursement depends on the type of site where the meals are served. For meals served at open, restricted open, or closed enrolled sites, sponsors are eligible for reimbursement of up to two meals per child, in any combination except lunch and supper (lunch and breakfast, lunch and a snack, or breakfast and a snack). Second breakfasts are reimbursable (see Question 33). For meals served at camps and migrant sites, sponsors are eligible for reimbursement of up to three meals per day, including lunch and supper on the same day. Sponsors will only be reimbursed for meals served to children eligible for free or reduced-price meals when served at camps (see Question 7 – Camps).
