This memorandum identifies the changes and provides guidance to be used in developing and submitting waiver requests to the child nutrition division.
The purpose of this policy memorandum is to provide clarification that FDPIR meets the regulatory requirements as an automatic income eligibility program for purposes of WIC program income determination.
This Instruction sets forth the policy concerning recycling of milk and other meal components.
This Instruction prohibits the denial of meals and milk as a disciplinary action against any child who is enrolled in a school participating in the Chile Nutrition Programs. Such denial of meals or milk is inconsistent with Section 2 and 9 of the National School Lunch Act and Sections 2,3, and 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966.
