Preferential meals in schools will be assigned automatically

Preferential meals in schools for children from low-income families in the capital will now be assigned automatically, that is, parents will not have to specifically submit an application for this. This decision was made by the city authorities to “simplify” the lives of adults.

According to the chairman of the Committee for Public Services of the city of Moscow Elena Shinkarukfor families that have issued their monthly payments for children, preferential meals will be assigned automatically after the student is assigned a preferential category.

– All documents required for confirmation will already be entered into the system. Such a system reduces the term for the provision of services to one working day, – clarified Elena Shinkaruk.

By the way, according to the Department of Information Technologies, the electronic service for applying for reduced-price meals is one of the most requested requests on the mos.ru portal. Since its inception in 2019, Moscow residents have sent more than 1.6 million electronic applications asking for such a service.
