In the jmc Family portal, you can easily review your lunch account balances and make secure online deposits. By entering your bank account or credit card details, you can conveniently submit payments through the portal, and Nelnet will process them for you. Once processed, the funds will be available for your children to use when purchasing lunch at school.

To add money to your lunch account, simply navigate to the Lunch section in the portal and follow the straightforward step-by-step process, which includes entering the deposit amount, selecting a payment method, and confirming the payment.


Step One: Click the "jmc Online Deposit (Family Account)" button to begin making a deposit into your family lunch account.

Step Two: Enter the dollar amount into the "Deposit" field to indicate the desired deposit amount.

Step Three: Select "New Account" from the "Saved Account" drop-down list to enter a new payment method or select a saved account and skip steps four through seven!

Step Four: Enter your first and last name in the appropriate fields to indicate the name associated with the payment.

Step Five: Click the "Credit Card" or "Bank Account" tab to indicate the type of account used for the payment.

Step Six: Enter the account information in the appropriate fields to provide the necessary payment details.

  • For "Credit Card" payments, include the Credit Card Number, Expiration Date, and Card Security Code.

  • For "Bank Account" payments, enter the Account Number, Routing Number, and Account Type.

Step Seven: Enter your email address in the "Email Address" field to receive a receipt of your transaction.

Helpful Tip: Place a checkmark in the "Save to my Account" checkbox to save your payment method details for future use.

Step Eight: Click the "Submit" button to confirm your payment or click the "Cancel" button to cancel your payment.
