Renewing Contracting Entities
TDA is excited to announce there is now a new page on SquareMeals meant specifically for renewing Contracting Entities (CEs). The "Renewing CEs" webpage on SquareMeals will host application related information such as application deadlines, tips, resources and news.
PY23 CACFP Administrative Reviews
Program Year (PY) 2023 CACFP Administrative Reviews (ARs) will begin October 1, 2022. TDA will follow the standard practice of sending Engagement Letters to each CE on the PY2023 CACFP AR Schedule, to assist the CE in preparing for the AR. The local Education Service Center (ESC) representatives (included in the notification) are available to provide technical assistance.
The Engagement Letter will provide important information to include the date of the Entrance Conference and Document Request Packet (DRP) due date. Each CACFP CE has a minimum of three (3) weeks to upload the DRP into TX-UNPS. TDA follows regulations and policy for conducting the administrative reviews which includes timelines in place to aid both TDA and the CE in completing the AR.
To avoid delays, a maximum of three (3) extensions on the DRP due date (for documentation to be uploaded to TX-UNPS for the administrative review) will be considered for possible approval. Any extensions must be requested via email; any granted must fit within the timelines outlined in the Engagement Letter for the DRP due date and the AR Entrance Conference.
TDA will proceed with the administrative review and may call findings on any documentation not submitted by the designated due date.
Claim Deadline Reminder
August and September claims are due. Claim deadline for August is October 30th. Don't delay, submit claims timely!
