This means sponsors will have to calculate daily totals for each of the categories (free, reduced or paid) at the end of the month. This information is then transferred to a new Total Meal Recap form. Because the system requires daily counts to match monthly totals, we strongly recommend you assign a staff person to double-check all totals and calculations for accuracy.  \nCACFP has revised forms to assist sponsors with each of these counts. The Meal Participation Record (ISBE 68-75D) looks like this with fillable fields appearing shaded in blue. For a form with numbered days go to [http://www.isbe.net/nutrition/pdf/68-75_meal_participation_record.pdf](http://www.isbe.net/nutrition/pdf/68-75_meal_participation_record.pdf)  \nRemember to complete an MPR for each site, by specific program, and for each meal.  \nAlthough instructions are on the form, the following may help provide further details and assistance. Also, due to confidentiality requirements, it is strongly recommended that these sheets not be displayed and that office staff be the ones to mark and total the Free, Reduced and Paid meal categories at the end of the month.  \nFigure 1-Start by completing one form per classroom, per program, per meal (e.g., breakfast, lunch, snack) that will be served; type in the name of the center and the month and year. Tip: Some sponsors use different color sheets for different meals, such as yellow for breakfast or green for lunch.  \nNext check the program(s) and meals to be served (Child care, Head Start, etc. ) .  \nFig. 1  \nFigure 2 - in our example, you see that across the first row are cells for the Child’s name, the days of that month s/he received a meal, and the category (Free, Reduced or Paid) . This form has the date cells blank for institutions to complete. We have written in the days in October that this site will operate, therefore no weekend dates (e.g. , 10/5-6) appear and, in this case, this site will also be closed 10/14 for Columbus Day.  \nWe use blue ink to show each child’s meal on the date taken. In the past, we trained you to take your counts sequentially (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc. ), but with the new daily Free, Reduced and Paid totals, it may be easier to mark each child count with a “1” in each box. Mark with a “1”on the day of the month they receive a meal, leaving blank, or no mark, those days the child does not receive a reimbursable meal. The daily Free, Reduced and Paid totals will not be entered until the end of the month.  \nDo not white out any errors. Cross out the error and indicate the correction in the box or in the margins.  \nAisha’s first meal is on 10/1, but Dario was not at the center until 10/23 so his cells will be blank until the date he receives a meal.  \nTotal your meal counts daily.  \nNo meal for Williams 10/7  \nFig. 3 – Adult Meals  \nKeep count of any adult meals at the bottom of the form. “Program Adults” refers to anyone working in the center. “Non-program Adults” are individuals with no duties at the site (such as visitors or visiting parents) . Adult meals may not be claimed for reimbursement. In this example there are no meals served to adults.","cbCaisqQv0K6J0AY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisqQv0K6J0AY","pdf",924452,"English","# Meal Participation Records Overview\n## Daily meal count entry requirements\n## Completing the MPR form for each site and meal\n## Marking children and correcting errors\n## Tracking adult meals and reimbursement rules","[{\"question\":\"What changes start in October 2013 for CACFP claims preparation?\",\"answer\":\"Sponsors must enter DAILY meal counts in the new WINS system so that daily totals match monthly totals.\"},{\"question\":\"Which entries are required on the Meal Participation Record (MPR)?\",\"answer\":\"Complete an MPR for each site, for each specific program, and for each meal (such as breakfast, lunch, and snack).\"},{\"question\":\"How should errors be corrected on the form?\",\"answer\":\"Do not white out mistakes.
