I am brand new. How do I get access to NexSys?
1. Create a MEIS account if new person does not already have one. If they currently have one, move on to #2.

Who can initiate the Coordinated Application in NexSys:
For the first year of participation in the School Nutrition Program (SNP), Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), the NexSys level 5s are the only people who can initiate the Coordinated Application. After the first year, Level 4s will also be able to initiate the Coordinated Application.

The NexSys level 5 can add you. Each agency is allowed to have two level 5s. Either one of them can add new people to the Coordinated Application in NexSys. See Above: "I am the level 5; How do I acc someone to the Coordinated Application?"
The NexSys level 5 no longer works here. What do we do?
The agency must choose someone new to be the NexSys level 5. Each agency/organization is allowed to have two level 5s. The new person will need to do the following:
1. Fill out the NexSys level 5 security form (for all other programs) and email it to MDE-NexSys-Applications@Michigan.gov.
NOTE: This will give the new person access to the system and remove the old person.
2. The authorized official listed in the Educational Entity Master (EEM) must sign the security authorization forms. If the person listed in EEM as the authorized official for the agency has changed, EEM will need to be updated with the new person BEFORE the security access form can be submitted.

Checking the Status of My Application in NexSys
Why is my site name different in the new application?
There is a new naming system for Child Nutrition Program sites in the Coordinated Application. In MEGS+, the program name was used as the site name. In the Coordinated Application, the building name is used as the site name instead. This document explains why you may see an unfamiliar name for your site in the Coordinated Application, and who you can contact for further explanation. We appreciate your patience as we adjust to the new naming system and will be happy to help if you have any questions after reviewing the help document.
I need a July 2022 Claim for Reimbursement, when can I expect it to be available?
We are working to approve applications with the intent that all reimbursement claim deadlines will be met. Currently, our team is approving applications in the order they have been received. As we determine a sponsor needs a July 2022 claim, those applications are prioritized for processing and approval. Claims are due no later than 60 days after the end of the month, so July 2022 claims must be submitted and certified by September 29, 2022.
Please review Checking the Status of an Application for detailed instructions on how to check the status of your application. Once your application is approved, your reimbursement claim will be available. If you experience any issues with your claims once they are available, please email MDE-SchoolNutrition@Michigan.gov or MDE-CACFP@Michigan.gov with details about the issue.
