It has come to our attention that several states are allowing child care conducted in buildings which are not private residences to be considered day care homes for purposes of CACFP. This memorandum clarifies our policy on the participation of group and family day care homes.
Attached is the final version of Policy Memorandum 93-8, revised, based on your comments and suggestions, from the draft memorandum issued June 3, 1993.
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify that the WIC vendor agreement/contract does not constitute a license or property interest .
PL 101-147 provided for additional administrative payments to sponsoring organizations wishing to expand into rural and low-income areas.
The WIC program does not have a specific legislative mandate to screen for lead poisoning. Even so, since 1979 FNA has supported CDC's lead poisoning initiative.
This memo describes the responsibility of state and local agencies to screen and select capable volunteers, as well as ensure volunteers understand confidentiality requirements.
