Step 1. Determine the School Food Authorities (SFAs) non-response rate using the Verification Collection Report from the previous year. Obtain data from section 5-8 and enter data in the cells below. Enter data for the number of applications, not students.
| 1Aa+1Ba+1Ca = Applications Responded No Change | |
| 2Aa+2Ba = Applications Responded Changed to Reduced price | |
| 2Ca = Applications Responded Changed to Free | |
| 3Aa+3Ba+3Ca = Applications Responded Changed to Paid | |
| 4Aa+4Ba+4Ca = Applications that Did Not Respond | |
| Total Applications | |
| Non-response Rate* : |
* See the Verification Instructions
Step 2: Enter below data based on applications on file October 1
| Number of Applications approved as Free based on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or FIP/TANF numbers: | A | |
| Free | Reduced | |
| Number of Applications based on income/household size: | B | C |
| Number of Error Prone Applications (drawn from application numbers in B and C above) | D | E |
