SUBJECT:2015-16 State Aid Payments

The State Aid payments for Match-NSL, SSBA-School Breakfast, EN and WMMP; based on programs that you participated in during the 2015-16 school year, have been processed. The EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) effective date is 04/11/2016 for these four annual payments and are recorded on the Public Aids Register

Match-NSL: This payment must be deposited as follows: Fund: 50, Source: 617 and Project Code: 542

The state payment is the product of the number of student lunches served by your district during the 2014-15 school year, multiplied by the computed per meal matching rate. This year, the statewide average match rate per meal is $0.04730185. Statutory authority for this state matching aid can be found under s. 115.34(2). This match revenue should be reported as “All Other Fund 50 Revenue” under the NSL column of your annual food service financial report at the end of the 2015-16 school year.

SSBA: This payment must be deposited as follows: Fund: 50, Source: 617 and Project Code: 543

Due to increased participation in the school breakfast programs, there was a continued need to prorate this year’s payments. The amount received was determined by multiplying 8.488cents (instead of 15 cents) by the total number of student school breakfasts your district claimed for reimbursement during the 2014-15 school year. Statutory authority for this state matching aid can be found under s. 115.341. This revenue should be reported as “All Other Fund 50 Revenue” under the SB column of your annual food service financial report at the end of the 2015-16 school year.

EN: This payment must be deposited as follows: Fund: 50, Source: 617 and Project Code: 545

This payment is made on the basis of your EN claim submitted for the 2014-15 school year. Statutory authority for this state aid payment can be found under s. 115.345 and provides for a payment rate of 15% of your reported per meal cost, or 50 cents per meal, whichever is lower. There was no need to prorate this year’s payments. Any cost for the elderly program, not covered by Fund 50 meal charges or aid payments, is to be funded with an operating transfer from the community service fund. This revenue should be reported as “All Other Fund 50 Revenue” under the A LA CARTE, WMMP, EN, SMP column of your annual food service financial report at the end of the 2015-16 school year.

This state aid payment is made on the basis of your WMMP claim submitted for 2014-15 school year. Due to the decreased allocation, it was necessary to prorate this year’s payments. Your prorated payment is determined by multiplying 0.45913816 byyour submitted claim. Statutory authority for this state aid payment can be found under s. 115.343. This revenue should be reported as “All Other Fund 50 Revenue” under the A LA CARTE, WMMP, EN, SMP column of your annual food service financial report at the end of the 2015-16 school year.
