About the Dataset This dataset contains contact and program participation information for each site participating in the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) for summer 2019 (SNP program year 2018-2019). The active application period for summer program participants runs January through April. Changes in participant information can occur through August. Summer meals programs operate mid-May through the end of August. New Data Fields Available! CE and site status (active/inactive), termination status, termination as of date, and application cycle (new/renewal) are now available on this dataset. These fields have been added to the last columns of the report and data descriptions have been added to the column metadata.

More information about accessing and working with TDA data on the Texas Open Data Portal can be found on the SquareMeals.org website on the TDA Food and Nutrition Open Data page. About Dataset Updates TDA aims to post new program participation data by April 1 of the active program year. Due to the short duration of the summer meal programs, updates to the program participation dataset will occur every two weeks until the end of August. All TDA datasets will have a final active update 90 days after the close of the program period. Datasets will be updated at six months and one year from the close of program period before becoming archived. Any data posted during the active update schedule is subject to change.
