Adding or Removing a Meal Service? Update TX-UNPS Application First


Adding or Removing a Meal Service? Update TX-UNPS Application First

The meals you can claim are tied to what’s approved on your TX-UNPS application. If a meal isn’t listed there, you can’t claim it — even if you served it.

When you need to update TX-UNPS

  • Adding a meal (e.g., starting to serve Supper)
  • Removing a meal you no longer serve
  • Changing the time of an existing meal service

How to start the update

👉 Book a call to update your TX-UNPS application

In the booking note, include:

  • What you’re changing
  • The effective date
  • Any meals you’ve already served this month that aren’t on your current application

The order of operations

  1. You update your application in TX-UNPS and submit it to TDA
  2. TDA reviews and approves the change (typically 1–3 weeks)
  3. We update MyFoodCloud to match your new TX-UNPS settings — only after TDA approval

We can’t update MyFoodCloud until TDA has approved the TX-UNPS change. If MFC and TX-UNPS don’t match, your claim won’t process correctly.

Meals served before the update is approved

If you served a meal that isn’t on your current TX-UNPS application, it’s generally not reimbursable. We may be able to file a retroactive amendment with TDA, but approval isn’t guaranteed — book a call quickly so we can submit the request.
