Claims Basics

The CNPweb uses the information in your sponsor and site applications to determine your organization's participation in the School Nutrition Program and your operating months determine your claims months.

Claims Submission Process

The general claims process occurs each claim month of the program year:

  1. Submit claims. Your organization submits site-level claims to the state agency. You must submit the claims within the USDA guidelines.
  2. Claim approval. The state agency may set up the CNPweb to automatically approve your claims without a review, or they may review your claim before they approve it.
  3. Claim payment. Your state agency pays approved claims each month according to its policies and procedures.

Claims Statuses

The CNPweb tracks your progress through the claims process using claims statuses. You can see at a glance your claim progress, see the outcome of the state agency review, and see when the state agency pays your approved claim by checking the claim statuses.

Claim Revisions

When necessary, you can revise claims and submit the revised claims to the state agency for review within the USDA guidelines. When the state agency approves a claim adjustment, the CNPweb calculates the payment adjustment (upward or downward). The state agency processes claim payment adjustments each month along with original claim payments.

The CNPweb keeps a revision history for every claim and allows you to review the revision history at any time.
