Area Eligibility Waiver Implementation Form
SFAs/Sponsoring Agencies currently providing meals during unanticipated closure under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or as a Closed Enrolled Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) site(s) may request consideration for the Area Eligibility Waiver. This waiver allows SFAs/Sponsoring Agencies in good standing to operate Open SFSP site(s) where all children ages 1 through 18 years can receive free meals during the emergency school closures related to COVID-19.
If you believe the community your SFA/Sponsoring Agency serves has experienced economic hardship and would like to be considered for approval to implement the Area Eligibility Waiver, please provide information below. Each waiver request will be reviewed by the Nebraska Department of Education, Office of Nutrition Services on a case-by-case basis. If approved, the waiver allows SFSP Open site eligibility beginning April 1, 2020.
