The easiest way
to enter claims

Basic Food Program recordkeeping should make it easy to participate, not be a barrier. That's why we've put alot of effort into working with providers to make our system as easy to use as possible.
See for yourself how easy this is.

Attendance

Regular menu

Infant menu

But don't take
our word for it.

Here's what providers are saying:

"I want to thank you for this new service. It is great being able to go online and do this task!!"

"The online tracking is so smooth and the changes that have occurred are much appreciated."

(from a field rep) "I had a very nice phone call from a provider who stated that she really appreciates the convenience of CACFP.net Online. She stated that she has had problems with the USPS in the past, and filing online is something she really likes!"

"I would recommend this to everyone on the food program. It is so much quicker and saves a lot of time and money for stamps, getting to the post office etc. You can do it within 5 minutes a day. Great idea and I am SOOOO glad this was offered to me."

"Thanks for letting us be a part of the online claiming. I love CACFP.net!"

"Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy using the food program on-line. You have made this so easy for all to use... I have encouraged my fellow child care providers to sign-up for this on-line service. Thank you for providing this service and help making our days go smoother. I find that doing this while the children are napping works the best, thus leaving my after work time to myself and family. Thank you."

"It is actually easier for me to access than many other internet programs and websites."

"My overall experience is great!! I am not very proficient with computers. I am still new to them. This system was very easy to use even for me! I honestly can not think of anything to make it better. I think you have thought of almost everything...I would absolutely recommend this to and I do recommend it to other providers."

"I don't think it could be made much easier. The designers did a great job of making it easy to figure out."

“I recommend online claiming for the convenience of never having to go to the post office, never missing first cut and not having to fill in all those bubbles.With a few clicks of the mouse, your attendance and meals are entered within five minutes.It's fast, it's easy and it's free!”

“The reason why I like claiming online is because it is so much faster than doing it on paper. All you do when you claim online is click an item and it automatically puts into your box. There is no writing and no need to send paper work in. You also save on stamps. We all know the price of stamps are getting ready to go up again so claiming online allows you to eliminate having to run out to the post office to buy a stamp because you ran out. These are just a few reasons why I really enjoy claiming online.”

“I like online claiming because it is easy and convenient to use.I like that I do not have to remember each child's number.I may enter the meals for the day at one time, quickly and easily.I like that I can view checks received, and claims filed if needed in a matter of seconds.These are all reasons I would suggest online claiming.”

“I can not even imagine having to return to paper claiming. Online claiming takes about 2 to 3 minutes and it is done and saved. No bubbles to fill in, no numbers to forget, less errors and no more trips to the post office with the fear that they will lose it in transit. It is the only way to go!”

“The reason why I like online claiming so much is because it eliminates the trips and stamps I have to make and use to the post office. When you claim online you no longer have to drag yourself out of the house and go to the post office when you discover that you are out of stamps and your claim needs to be mailed in that day. With online claiming all you do is simply click a few simple items and you are done. It takes me a whole 5 minutes to do my meals for the whole day. Even if you are not a computer person you would still be able to figure out the program because it is that simple. That is why I like claiming online so much.”

“As child care providers, we wear many hats, andseems that there are never enough hours in the day. I always seem to run short on time. But since I began with on-line claiming,timeon claiming is much shorter! No moreto fill in!just click away, and I'm done! Plus, nopaying for postage! I love it!”

“I love online claiming. You don’t have all the paper work laying around and you can just pull it up on the computer any time you need to look at it. My filing cabinet is running over all the time with all the papers and I always know right where I put it.”

“I have only been an on-line claimer for two months now, but WOW has it cut down on paper work!!!Also there are no more bubbles to fill in!!I don't get a cramp in my hand!!Seriously, though, I am not a computer person, however, I do like the on-line filing.I encourage all to at least try it.”

Online claiming for me has been so convenient.Online claiming requires no paperwork which means no bubbles to fill in, yippee!!!!!Also at the end of the month you just go to your computer do your menu and attendance for the day and then with just a click of the computer you press send and your claim is on the way, no rushing to get to the post office to mail it.My advice would be to try it, it is WONDERFUL!!!”

I have been using the online claiming for a long time now and I love it. It is such a time saver and a lot less paper to file. It only takes 2 or 3 minutes of your time each day and it is very simple to use.If you are not an online claimer you should consider doing it. We all need more time for our family and this really helps. Thanks“
