Generally, institutions may not establish separate entities using separate tax identification numbers to serve the same children under different child nutrition programs in order to avoid the program restrictions or to earn higher reimbursement. Institutions approved to participate in both the CACFP and the SFSP must ensure that the same children are not served meals in both programs, and separate records must be kept for each program. This instruction states that traditional child care centers may only claim some or all of their meals under the SFSP during the summer when there is a substantial change in program activities or a significant increase in enrollment.
However, a traditional child care center that also serves at-risk afterschool meals and/or snacks (i.e., the center has enrolled preschool children in care during the day, but also serves at-risk afterschool meals and/or snacks to school-age children) must comply with the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Instruction 782-4, rev. Such an organization could serve meals to all children through age eighteen under the SFSP during the summer months, subject to approval of their SFSP application by the state agency. Question 10 applies to an organization that serves meals and/or snacks to children only through the at-risk afterschool meals component of the CACFP during the school year.
