This memorandum provides guidance for state agencies to implement the statutory changes mandated by PL 106-224, which was signed into law by the President on June 20, 2000.

This memorandum provides flexibility to State agencies and sponsoring organizations of family day care homes in approving homes for CACFP participation under these circumstances.

This memorandum extends this categorical eligibility provision to the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, the Special Milk Program for Children, and closed enrolled sites in the Summer Food Service Program.

CACFP benefits have been extended to include meal services to children who reside with their families in emergency shelters, under the National School Lunch Act. Because the circumstances of an emergency shelter are so different from any other type of CACFP institution, we thought it would be helpful to share these questions and our responses.

The purpose of this memorandum is to advise you of our decision to offer state agencies the opportunity to participate in a demonstration project to exclude the income of temporary census employees.
