FD-023 policy memo accounting for donated foods in cost-reimbursable contracts between school food authorities and food service management companies
We have recently received several questions regarding the requirements for sponsors’ review of their facilities. These questions focused on the long-standing requirements that new facilities be reviewed within the first four to six weeks of operation, and that each facility must be reviewed three times each year.
On Nov. 22, 2003, PL 108-134 was enacted. This law continues appropriations for the child nutrition programs and extends several provisions that were to expire on Nov. 21, 2003.
This memorandum is to reiterate and clarify current policy governing intentional program violations as set forth in the Food Stamp Program regulations.
The following memo represents our position on the question of whether the head of household may be held responsible for an IPV when the household member that committed the IPV cannot be determined.
The head of household may not be held "automatically" responsible for trafficking the household's benefits if there is no direct evidence identifying him/her as the guilty party. However, OGC was also supportive of holding the head of household responsible when there was sufficient circumstantial evidence to show his/her complicity in the violative act.
This policy memorandum authorizes the implementation of the provisions contained in PL 103-448, the Healthy Meals for Healthy Americans Act of 1994, enacted on Nov. 2, 1994.
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance on the cost allowability of program incentive items. These items are allowable under certain terms and conditions only for three purposes: outreach, breastfeeding promotion, and nutrition education.
Among the provisions of Pro-Children Act of 1994 are those which forbid smoking within any indoor facility owned, leased or contracted for the provision of regular or routine health care or day care or early childhood development services to children.
This memorandum provides clarification of our policy on the allowability of transportation costs for WIC participants.
