The Honorable Sonny Perdue
U.S. Department of Agriculture
1400 Independence Avenue SW
Washington, DC 20250
The Honorable Brandon Lipps

U.S. Department of Agriculture

The Honorable Pamilyn Miller
Food and Nutrition Service
U.S. Department of Agriculture

Dear Secretary Perdue, Deputy Under Secretary Lipps, and Administrator Miller,
We, the undersigned organizations, commend the United States Department of Agriculture for your
decision on August 31 to extend the waivers which allow for the continued operation of the Summer Food
Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless Summer Option (SSO) through December 31st, 2020. This
extension provides the flexibility needed now to reach every child who relies on free and reduced-price
school meals, regardless of what the school day may look like.
While this is an important first step, it is critical that these waivers are available through June 30,
2021. The negative impacts of COVID-19 – on school schedules, school budgets, employment, the
economy, and food insecurity – will be long-lasting, and will not end with the calendar year. Schools and
community sponsors need consistency and time in order to effectively plan and implement meal service
for millions of children across the country. Requiring school nutrition directors and community sponsors
to switch from one program to another on January 1st will only result in confusion for families, as well as
disruptions to meal access at a time when child hunger continues to grow.
Allowing the use of SFSP and SSO through the entire school year will provide much-needed stability
while also: limiting overt identification; reducing the administrative burden on school nutrition
departments; allowing safe and efficient meal distribution at the location that makes the most sense for
families; supporting non-school sponsors that care for school-aged children during remote learning days;
and providing a level of reimbursement more commensurate with the costs of the service models required
during a pandemic. It is essential that these programs remain an option past December 31, 2020.
We ask that USDA take the following actions before September 30th – when the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act authority to issue nationwide waivers expires – to ensure continued
access to meals throughout the entire school year:
Page 2 of 36
● Allow the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless Summer Option (SSO) to be used
to feed children through the school year;
● Extend all nationwide waivers for SFSP and SSO, including non-congregate feeding,
parent/guardian pick-up, meal pattern flexibility, meal service time, and area eligibility, through
the school year;
● Waive the Afterschool Activity Requirement for the Afterschool Meal Program and the Snack
Programs available through CACFP and NSLP; and
● Allow those providing meals through the Summer Food Service Program or Seamless Summer
Option to also utilize Afterschool Meal and Snack Programs.
We appreciate your consideration of this request.
