What changed

The Department of Agriculture, through its Food and Consumer Service, has issued a final rule to improve the targeting of reimbursements for day care homes. This rule, published in the Federal Register on February 24, 1998, details changes to the reimbursement system, likely affecting how federal funds are allocated to licensed or registered day care homes that provide meals and snacks to children.

Regulated entities, primarily day care providers participating in federal nutrition programs, should review the specific provisions of this rule to understand any changes in eligibility criteria, reimbursement rates, or administrative requirements. While the rule was published in 1998, understanding its historical context may be relevant for current program compliance or for analyzing subsequent regulatory changes in this area.

What to do next

Review the final rule for specific changes to day care home reimbursement targeting.
Update internal policies and procedures to align with the new reimbursement targeting criteria.
Ensure compliance with the April 27, 1998, effective date for the changes.
