Adjust Payment Amounts to Match Funds Received From States

Sponsors in states using the Blended Per Meal method for calculating reimbursement sometimes see a small discrepancy between the claim estimates calculated by My Food Program and the claim amounts received from the state agency due to rounding protocols. Sponsors have the ability to enter the total amount of funds received from the state and My Food Program will automatically re-calculate the individual site claim amounts.

To adjust payment amounts:

• From the Sponsor dashboard select the “Claims” tab.
• Select “Claims Payments”.
• On the right-hand side, select the month and year and click “Done”. Your payments will appear in a list below
• Enter the “Actual Amount Received From State For UNPAID Claims” in the box at the bottom.
• If the amount differs from the estimate, click the blue “Adjust Unpaid Claims Total to Match Total Claim Amount Received from State” and the inidividual site claim amounts will be automatically re-calculated.
• Be sure to mark the claims as paid in order for the new amounts to overwrite our original estimates.
• Click the green “Save” button when finished.
