13  SFA’s have 10 operating days to approve F/R applications.  SFA’s have the option of establishing the date of submission of an application as the effective date of eligibility.  However, this applies only to completed F/R applications and SFA must have a method to document the date the application was submitted.

14  SFA’s must also refund any money paid by or on behalf of the child for a reimbursable meal or milk prior to eligibility determination, including forgiving accrued debt.  SFA’s can also adjust their claim to match the eligibility determination.
