June 1, 2022 - The SSO age/grade meal pattern portion sizes exemption is now available in TX-UNPS. CEs participating in SSO that are operating open and restricted open sites and have difficulty implementing the age/grade group requirements may apply for an exemption. If approved, the exemption waiver will allow the CE to serve the portion size consistent with the most commonly served age/grade group at that site. CEs that wish to apply for an exemption must use the Seamless Summer Option Age/Grade Group Meal Pattern Portion Size form through TX-UNPS Download Forms (SNP-000).
