2025-001: Meal Count Forms Not Reconciled to Claim for Reimbursement Issue: Daily and monthly meal count forms were not reconciled to the claim for reimbursement, and in several instances meals claimed exceeded participant attendance. Supervisory review was not documented, and meal count reconciliation occurred through manual processes that increased the likelihood of error. Corrective Actions: Porter-Leath will implement a unified reconciliation process for CACFP meal counts that requires attendance, point-of-service meal counts, and delivery counts to be reviewed together before the monthly claim is submitted. 1. Site Managers will verify that meals served never exceed daily attendance and that all claims agree to supporting census and meal documentation. 2. The Food Service Lead will prepare the monthly claim only after attendance data from ChildPlus or ProCare and meal count forms are validated and matched. 3. A supervisory review will be required at each site and documented prior to submission to CACFP leadership. 4. The CACFP Coordinator will conduct a final reconciliation to confirm accuracy and resolve discrepancies before Finance processes the claim. Responsible Personnel: CACFP Coordinator, Site Managers, Food Service Lead, Health, Disabilities & Nutrition Manager Timeline: Procedures finalized within 10 days; staff trained within 30 days; full implementation with the next monthly claim cycle after training is complete. Monitoring: Quarterly monitoring will verify adherence to reconciliation and review requirements, including documented supervisory approval.
