This Management Bulletin (MB) provides information regarding a change in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy regarding claiming meals in family day care homes with children of military personnel. As explained in MB 01-216, a day care home provider may generally only claim meals served to enrolled children who do not reside in the provider's home. Previously, only temporary, overnight placement, due to an emergency situation, was allowed for a maximum of three days.
In light of current national events, USDA has revised the three-day maximum as it applies to military personnel. Currently, a child placed in a day care home by a military parent may be claimed for meal reimbursement as a nonresidential program participant for as long as the child is with the provider if the following conditions are met:
- The child is a dependent of a military parent who has been deployed from a normal duty station as a result of the current national situation; and
- The provider has legal power of attorney or custody of the child or an agreement has been established by the military to provide residential care to the child.
