Finding No. 2022-003: Significant Deficiency - Compliance with eligibility $53 Condition: During the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) audit in January 2022, TDA noted two sites tested did not ensure all participants were present for each meal claimed. Criteria: In compliance with Child and Adult Care Food Program Child Care Centers Handbook 4337.2 Meal Count and Attendance, centers did not ensure all participants were present for meals claimed. Cause: The centers did not ensure the meals claimed agreed to the participants present for the meals served Effect: Failure of the center to properly ensure all participants are present for the meals claimed caused 18 breakfasts, 11 lunches and 7 snacks to be improperly claimed. Recommendation: TDA recommends Anita Moreau to provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances around the claims; develop and implement process and procedures to ensure daily counts and attendance records are totaled correctly; and ensure monthly meal counts are accurately claimed for reimbursement from TDA.
