This USDA Foods in disasters guidance provides information for programs during a Presidentially declared disaster/emergency, or during a situation of distress declared by a state or FNA. The state may find it necessary to transport USDA Foods from one area within the state to another in support of disaster feeding efforts. These intra-state transportation costs will be reimbursed by FNA during a Presidentially declared disaster/emergency, and reimbursed by FNA to the extent funds are available during situations of distress.
The purpose of this memo is to reaffirm that family day care homes claiming CACFP reimbursement must comply with all program requirements, including meal pattern requirements, immediately upon commencing participation in the program.
