Subject: Disbursement of State Meal Reimbursement |
|
| Reference: Day Care Home Sponsors Administrative Manual | |
This Management Bulletin revises the Day Care Home
(DCH) Sponsors Administrative Manual Section 511 B entitled State
Meal Reimbursement. Effective immediately, DCH sponsors are
not required to disburse state reimbursement payments to day care
home providers within five working days of receipt.
Previous guidance required that DCH sponsors disburse all
reimbursement to providers within five working days of receipt.
We have determined that this time requirement does not apply to
state meal reimbursement. To help reduce administrative costs
to your program, DCH sponsors may disburse the state reimbursement
payments at the same time they disburse the next federal reimbursement
payment to providers.
Please note that the requirement to disburse reimbursement to
providers within five working days is a federal regulation and
applies to the federal reimbursement.
Please share this information with your accounting staff.
If you have any questions, please contact your Nutrition Services
Division representative in the Field Services Unit at 916-445-0850
or 800-952-5609.
