Criteria and Cause: The State agency conducted a claim validation and administrative review of the
Organization’s CACFP operations during the year ended September 30, 2024. Based on the information
gathered during the review, the State agency declared the Organization’s CACFP program seriously
deficient. The areas found to be seriously deficient included failure to perform required financial or
administrative responsibilities, failure to properly train and monitor subrecipients, and claiming
reimbursement for meals that do not meet program requirements. The State agency sent the
Organization a Notice of Serious Deficiency dated August 6, 2024. The Organization submitted corrective
action but the State agency concluded that the Organization did not fully and permanently correct the
areas of serious deficiency.
Effect: On November 8, 2024, the State agency proposed to terminate the Organization’s agreement to
participate in CACFP.
Recommendation: The Organization should implement the actions necessary to correct all deficiencies
identified during monitoring reviews within the time period allowed for corrected action.
Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Organization feels that it made a good
faith attempt to correct the deficiencies noted by the State Agency. On November 8, 2024, the
Organization received notification that the State agency proposed to terminate the Organization’s
agreement to participate in CACFP. The Organization decided not to appeal the decision. Effective
December 1, 2024, the Organization ended the CACFP program and notified the day care homes that they
would need to find a new sponsor.
