Child Nutrition Program Electronic Application and Reimbursement System
(CN PEARS) - Web Site
The Division of Food and Nutrition, Bureau of Budget and Fiscal Management, has implemented a WEB based application and payment system for seven federal Child Nutrition Programs. The new e-commerce system is now available to 1,000 public and private school sponsors of the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Special Milk, and Afterschool Snack Programs. Approximately 250 sponsors of the Summer Food Service Program and 900 sponsors of the Child and Adult Care Food Program are also using PEARS to submit required documentation to the Division of Food and Nutrition.
Sponsors of the Child Nutrition Programs can now submit annual program applications, monthly claims for reimbursement, building data reports, verification reports, child nutrition program financial reports, and other mandated data reports to the Division of Food and Nutrition via the Internet.
