    Does CA do direct enrollment for SNAP and other benefits? This is the most important reason to collect f/r meal applications. Second important reason is for establishing basis for community eligibility.

    Thank you Abby for your work on this!

    00:49:22

    Could LunchAssist make a nice flyer that could be used to go along with Income Form, so that we could try to get more parents to fill them out?  I feel like it's like trying to get parents to pull teeth.

    Great job on the website.  The resources are so valuable.

    00:52:29
    Abby Halperin | Center for Ecoliteracy:
    @Jennifer great question. There’s already federal relief funding for March 2020 - June 2020 & CA state relief funding for March 2020 - August 2020 (this is the $0.75 a meal secured in last year’s budget), so I believe that this current funding for budget deficit relief would be for the 2020-21 school year, but we’re waiting to see more details in the trailer bill language.

    Chef B. Markee-Orcutt USD:
    California (SB county) is high, but we are offering full day kindergarten starting this fall.....

    01:15:02
    DEBBIE AUSTIN:
    When do you anticipate the reimbursement rate to be posted for the new fiscal year?

    01:16:44
    Stephanie Bruce:
    Last year they weren't published until July

    01:16:50
    Michael Jochner:
    USDA: We'll clear that up.
    Me:  HAHAHAHA

    01:17:13
    Stephanie Bruce:
    Good one Michael!!! LOL

    01:17:19
    Amanda Mascia:
    Sharing as FYI: Our county office of education (San Diego) is advising/requesting school nutrition to be prepared to continue offering 7 days' worth of meals during SY21/22 because they are expecting the continuation and expansion of quarantines for close contacts, exposures and children that are symptomatic or test positive.

    01:17:45
    Jen McNeil I LunchAssist:
    Susan Dalandan: Does CA do direct enrollment for SNAP and other benefits? This is the most important reason to collect f/r meal applications. Second important reason is for establishing basis for community eligibility.

    01:18:43
    Vivien Watts:
    My district will use AIF instead of applicaton.  However, families need a letter to get P-EBT.  Is there a sample letter?

    01:18:47
    Michelle Hernandez:
    Do you all have an resources for the new P-EBT? Marketing material

    01:19:00
    Charlie Hoffs:
    But it doesn’t go the other way, FRPM does not automatically enroll students for SNAP, if that was also part of the question:)

    01:19:15
    Susan Dalandan:
    That's good. PA uses F/R meal applications the other direction - making sure families get SNAP, and other benefits if they are.

    01:19:23
    Stephanie Bruce:
    Dept of SS website has materials

    01:19:24
