SFSP Requirements Deadlines for 2023
Final Rule Summary: USDA is implementing regulatory changes to the SFSP regulations that simplify program requirements for SFSP program operators, improve the customer experience for participating children and families, and strengthen the integrity of the program. Many provisions codified through this final rule were previously allowed as program flexibilities and are demonstrated to facilitate program administration and service delivery for children and their families. This rule is effective Oct. 1, 2022. Compliance with the provisions of this rule must begin May 1, 2023. Parts of the Final Rule most relevant to sponsor operation are outlined in the Final Rule Summary. The full Final Rule may be viewed online: Federal Register Notice of Final Rule.
Site Definitions & Eligibility Documentation Wisconsin Free/Reduced Eligibility for All Public Schools (FY 2020) can also be used to determine area eligibility. A SFSP site may operate in a suitable location within the attendance area of a school that has at least 50% of its' students eligible for free and reduced price meals during the school year. More recent free/reduced data may be submitted to DPI for review to determine if it may be used to establish 2022 eligibility.
