Verification & Direct Certification
Our software lets you configure workloads to best fit your needs. Whether you want to validate applications in a batch, compare files to state forms, or filter for insights, SchoolCafé provides you with the tools you need to quickly find answers.
Key Features
Audit Preparation
Eliminate manual data entry. Scanned applications can be viewed with the original document guaranteeing accurate information.
Rolling Verification
Spread the work of verification over a longer period of time to reduce workloads while increasing response rates from families.
Verification Sampling
Use standard or alternate sampling methods to generate samples. Track verification applications according to the response stage.
Admin Access
Administrators can access supporting documents for students and parents including images, approval status, and verification information.
Sibling Extension
Our platform filters through applications to match siblings and extend similar benefits to students of the same household.
Real-time Insights
The SchoolCafé dashboard monitors application processes and provides data mapping and charts to break down key information and patterns.
Direct Certification
Application processing efficiently handles students who are eligible for free and reduced meals. Users can import the electronic file provided by the state, then validate the DC list against the district student enrollment (imported from the SIS) – ultimately matching students declared eligible.
