This memorandum permits sponsors to use data from a national migrant organization to certify the eligibility of sites serving the children of migrant workers.
On Oct. 31, 1998, President Clinton signed the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998. Several provisions in this law affect the administration of SFSP. We intend to publish regulations to implement these provisions as soon as possible.
This memorandum is in response to discussion at the recent national SFSP meeting regarding the prohibition on private non-profit sponsors contracting with food service management companies for the preparation of meals.
In response to these concerns, this memorandum provides states with a waiver procedure for those sponsor and site application requirements which they believe are no longer essential in some situations.
As mentioned in Welfare Reform Advisory Memo #1, this memorandum provides implementation guidance on all remaining SFSP provisions contained in PL 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 made a number of changes to the National School Lunch Act which governs the waiver process in the child nutrition programs. This memorandum identifies the changes and provides guidance to be used in developing and submitting waiver requests to the child nutrition division.
This memorandum addresses provisions which reduce the number of reimbursable meals that can be claimed by camps and migrant site in SFSP and child care centers in CACFP.
As a follow-up to our December 1994 advisory memo to the regions which stated that this issue would be addressed in more detail in the future, this memo changes the existing FSMC reporting requirements policy to allow exception reporting by all state agencies.
