Section 126-85-61 - Verification United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)

61.1. Each school food authority must verify a sample of the total number of applications approved for benefits by selecting a sample through either random or focused sample. The sample must be taken from approved free and reduced price applications on file as of October 31 of each year. An application is counted as one application regardless of whether it is a multi-child application or an application for one child. The sample size depends on the number of paper applications, not the number of children represented. Students that were approved through Direct Certification are excluded from verification. Confirmation of eligibility must be completed by December 15 of each year. Sponsors may request an extension by notifying the Office of Child Nutrition. The request must be received by November 30 of each year. The Sponsors Summary Report is due to WVDE by January 10 of each year.
