Amending Household Applications

Tool Search: Household Applications

The Amend button on Household Applications allows you to amend existing Meal or Educational Benefits applications.

You may update student, household, and/or income information. An application may be amended for a variety of reasons. Examples could include:

  • Household income changes
  • Completion of previously incomplete applications (such as adding a signature or Social Security Number)
  • Amending household members
  • If student categorical information changes (e.g., student starts/ends participation in SNAP, FDPIR or TANF programs or becomes/discontinues status as a homeless, runaway or migrant student)
  • Data entry mistakes/typos
When an application is amended, student eligibilities are updated accordingly.
Amendments to FRAM applications should only be done in the active school year.
Food Service users only: If the change made to the application through the Amend process changes the eligibility of students in the household, existing meal purchases made by those students may be updated.

When the Eligibility Start Date on an application is earlier than the date the application is processed, Point of Sale can automatically void and re-enter transactions at the approved eligibility rate IF "Autocorrect transactions for backdated applications" is selected on POS Preferences. When the preference is selected, Campus automatically updates eligible transactions. Any transaction(s) that occurred between the Eligibility Start Date and the Application Date are voided and the transaction is re-entered at the new eligibility pricing. See the Backdated Adjustments Report for a summary or detailed report of the transactions that were updated when an application was backdated.

If the autocorrect option is not enabled and purchases exist under an eligibility that has changed, a district staff member can manually modify those purchases on each student's account Journal.

If you amend an application from a previous school year, all of the student's food services purchases for the amended year are changed and recalculated as non-reimbursable meals.

When amending or copying a Meal or Educational Benefits Application, the Application Type cannot be changed. If the Application Type must be changed, a new application must be processed.
