Erase Lunch Balance?
I know that students coded as homeless immediately receive free school meals. However, I am running into the issue of not knowing that someone is homeless until a few days/months after the fact. When I complete the transition referral form, I put the date that I complete the paperwork, as well as the date their homelessness began, which on occasion do not match.
Regarding the lunch balance, are we supposed to erase the lunch balance that has accrued from the date they became homeless, or the date we (the school) became aware of their living situation?

Karlee my school will allow an erase time up to the end of he month for identification but every month after they submit meals for audits they won’t go back and change fees charged. So if it is September 1st when I put mine in they will charge all the August dates. We don’t deny any meals but they still have to be paid some other way. I try to make sure I get as many in by the end of August, those first weeks of school.
