Form H1535 PDF Details

In March 2007, the Texas Department of Agriculture introduced the H1535 form, a vital document for centers and emergency shelters aiming to manage their daily meal count and attendance records meticulously. Tailored for the specific needs of these organizations, the form serves as a foundation for claiming meal reimbursements, ensuring that the services provided to participants are both accountable and verifiable. It distinguishes between centers, eligible to claim up to two meals and one snack or one meal and two snacks per day, and emergency shelters, which can claim up to three meals or two meals and one snack. Crucial information such as the name of the contracting organization, facility, program number (TX No.), along with detailed records of participant’s name, age, and meals (breakfast, lunch, and snacks) provided on each day of operation, underscores the form's comprehensiveness. Additionally, it collects data on the total number of program participants, staff meals, and non-program meals, culminating in a certification by the center or emergency shelter representative that all provided information is accurate and truthful. This certification underpins the integrity of the claim process, with a clear admonition that any misrepresentation may lead to prosecution under applicable state or federal statutes, highlighting the form's role not just in meal tracking and reimbursement, but also in ensuring ethical compliance.
