Must organizations that want to receive retroactive reimbursement for snacks served on or after October 1, 1998, already have been participating in the CACFP or NSLP at that time?
Retroactive reimbursement to October 1, 1998, is available for all afterschool care programs that met the eligibility requirements (as specified in Question 1) and maintained documentation (as specified in Question 13). Note that school food authorities must operate the lunch component of the NSLP in order to receive reimbursement.
