The Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 requires all federal agencies to calculate the amount of erroneous payments in federal programs and to periodically conduct detailed assessments of vulnerable program components. This program assessment of the Family Day Care Home component of USDA's Child and Adult Care Food Program provides a national estimate of the share of CACFP family day care homes that are in the wrong reimbursement tier.
Notice is hereby given that the national average minimum value of donated foods, or cash in lieu thereof, per lunch under NSLP and per lunch and supper under CACFP shall be 16.75 cents for the period July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007.
This notice announces the annual adjustments to: The national average payment rates for meals and supplements served in child care centers, outside-school-hours care centers, at-risk afterschool care centers, and adult day care centers; the food service payment rates for meals and supplements served in day care homes; and the administrative reimbursement rates for sponsoring organizations of day care homes, to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index.
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify that sponsors of day care homes may not include non-claiming homes in the total number of homes reported for determining administrative reimbursements.
This memorandum provides instructions on how to reconcile the physical inventory conducted at a distributing agency- or subdistributing agency-level storage facility with the book inventory required to be maintained for that facility.
This final rule implements a provision of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 by creating uniform regulations related to the disregard of overpayments in the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program.
It has come to our attention that there is some uncertainty regarding proper application of the monitoring requirements for sponsoring organizations set forth in the CACFP regulations. This memorandum provides guidance on that issue, and replaces CACFP Memorandum # 04-2006, issued on Jan. 20, 2006.
This memorandum addresses the extension of the original guidance, as well as several other questions that have arisen regarding implementation of the block claim requirement.
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify that policies establishing limits on the specific and/or exclusive geographic areas in which CACFP sponsoring organizations may operate are inconsistent with program regulations and, as such, prohibited.
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance on the impact of these modifications on the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
