Direct Certification and Direct Verification

Overview

Direct Certification is required for all school districts/systems participating in the NSLP. Direct Certification was designed to improve program access and administrative efficiency. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program (TANF), and Foster Children data from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (NDHHS) are used to determine if a student is directly certified for Free meals in the NSLP and School Breakfast Program (SBP). Participating public and nonpublic schools must submit a current “membership list” including grade levels for PK‐12 students a minimum of three times a year (August 31 (start of the school year), October 31, and February 28).
