Subject: Guidance on Income Eligibility Determinations and Duration
This memorandum provides guidance and clarification regarding individual income eligibility determinations and durations in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). This memorandum incorporates recently clarified flexibility available for establishing the effective date of eligibility for children certified for free or reduced price meals in the CACFP and SFSP and therefore supersedes Food and Nutrition Service memorandum CACFP 06-2012, Guidance on Income Eligibility Determinations and Durations, February 10, 2012 (State Agency memorandum CACFP 01-2012, April 3, 2012).
