TO: Sponsors of the Child Nutrition Programs
RE: Child Nutrition Program Statewide Waivers Summary and Q/A
Action Required
|
|
|
The Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs (ODE CNP) is aware of the passage of the Keep Kids Fed Act by Congress on June 24, 2022. ODE CNP understands that sponsors have questions about the impact of the Act on meal program waivers. As with all legislation regarding Child Nutrition Programs, USDA FNS must issue written guidance for State Agencies to follow. USDA has not yet issued guidance on the Keep Kids Fed Act. At this time, ODE CNP asks that sponsors continue to use the 2022-23 Oregon Waivers form to request waivers currently available in Oregon.
Enclosed is the Oregon approved waiver summary originally issued June 16, 2022 with a link to the 2022-2023 Oregon Waivers form and a Questions and Answers document. The waiver summary has been revised to more clearly identify available categories of waivers by program.
If you need assistance or additional information, please contact your assigned Child Nutrition Specialist.
