Several provisions in this law affect the administration of CACFP. We intend to publish regulations to implement these provisions as soon as possible. However, except as noted below, these provisions must be implemented in accordance with the statutory effective date. This memorandum provides guidance for state agencies to use until final rules are published.
This memorandum attempts to answer specific questions raised about CACFP providers incorporating their day care home operations under the laws of their respective states and the effect incorporation has on program participation.
States are making one-time or special assistance payments to households under state programs to keep the households from becoming monthly recipients of regular Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Such payments cannot be considered a nonrecurring lump-sum payment but must be counted as income.
