2010/2011 Confidential Income Statements (Child Care Centers, Head Start and Outside-School-Hours Centers)

Action Required

June 25, 2010

TO: Child Care Centers, Head Start, and Outside-School-Hours Centers

RE: 2010/2011 Confidential Income Statements and Income Eligibility Guidelines Child and Adult Care Food Program

Effective July 1, 2010, and until further notice, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) sponsors are to use the following forms and information to determine CACFP income eligibility and develop the One Month Attendance Report:

2010/2011 Income Eligibility Guidelines (IEG)
2010/2011 Confidential Income Statement Instructions
2010/2011 Confidential Income Statement – Centers (English and Spanish )
Letter to Household (English and Spanish ) (without Income Eligibility Guidelines per this year’s USDA requirement)

Important Notes:

The publication of the 2010/2011 Federal poverty guidelines has been delayed indefinitely.
Effective July 1, 2010, sponsors must use all forms and instructions enclosed in this mailing. If and when the new income eligibility guidelines change, the Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs (ODE CNP) will notify sponsors with instructions. If this happens before June 30, 2011, sponsors are not required to recategorize any 2010/2011 Confidential Income Statement (CIS) forms that were already approved.
The Income Eligibility Guidelines in this mailing are titled 2010/2011 but the actual income limits for free and reduced price meals are the same as 2009/2010.
The Letter to Household does not include the income guidelines, per USDA instructions.
The CIS forms and CIS Instructions are updated.

Income determinations based on the CIS will be valid for 12 months. For more information, refer to Chapter 3 in the USDA CACFP Center Manual “Big Red”. ODE CNP will notify sponsors as soon as the new guidelines are published, at which time the new guidelines will go into effect.

For additional languages, sponsors may use the USDA-developed materials available on the USDA website: http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/FRP/frp.process.htm External Link

If you have questions or do not have Internet access and need a translated form, please contact your assigned Child Nutrition Specialist or me at (503) 947-5892.
