CACFP At-Risk Nationwide Waiver Clarification
CACFP At-Risk Nationwide Waiver Clarification
According to regulations under Title 7,
Code of Federal Regulations (7
CFR), Section 226.17a(b)(1)(i), in order to establish eligibility for reimbursement, the CACFP At-Risk Afterschool Program can only operate after school, or on weekends, holidays, or school breaks while the regular school year is in session with the exception of year round schools. At-Risk centers may not claim during summer school which includes weekends and holidays. The current and new release of the U.S. Department of Agriculture waivers pertaining to the CACFP does not waive the above requirement as to when meals under the At-Risk Afterschool Program can be served.
