Front of House supports import and export integrations file formats required for Child Nutrition Program Electronic Application and Reimbursement System (CN PEARS) integration and claims reporting.
CN PEARS is a web-based application and payment system for several federal Child Nutrition Programs. The online system is available to all public and private school sponsors of the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Special Milk, and Afterschool Snack Programs. Sponsors of the Summer Food Service Program and sponsors of the Child and Adult Care Food Program are using PEARS to submit required documentation to the Division of Food and Nutrition.
To activate the PEARS feature, Pennsylvania school districts participating in the PEARS program must set the State & Federal Regulations flag and their PEARS ID. The PEARS ID is mapped to the School ID and is the same value as the CN PEARS Agreement Number.
