Learn how to streamline the verification process by using Direct Verification in TX-UNPS. This drop-in learning lab will provide hands on training on how to use public records to verify a student’s eligibility on applications selected for verification. Participants should be an authorized SNP Administrator to log into TX-UNPS for their contracting entity (CE) and must bring an Excel (.xls or .xlxs) file for all students selected for verification with the following fields of information: social security number, last name, first name, birth date, gender and CE ID (see DV file formatting ). A Child Nutrition Program Specialist will provide assistance and answer questions about the process and matched reports in the new Direct Verification (DV) system. Laptops will be provided.
