On March 29, 2011 the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) issued child nutrition (CN) policy memorandum SP25 CACFP14 SFSP09-2011 addressing implementation of Section 361, Full Use of Federal Funds, of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (the Act). That memorandum provided state agencies with a fact sheet of FAQs to support state administration of the CN programs such as administrative oversight, compliance, and technical assistance.
Subsequent to the issuance of the memorandum, FNS received additional questions regarding the implementation of Section 361, Full Use of Federal Funds. To respond to those questions, we developed the attached fact sheet of FAQs.
As federal partners in administering CN programs, we stand ready to work with state agencies, through our FNS regional offices, to ensure compliance with requirements of the Act.
