Child and Adult Care Food Program
Overclaims
Fund recoveries for debts arising from fraud, abuse,
or invalid claims for reimbursement are what we collectively call
overclaims. An overclaim does include restoring misused funds
to the nonprofit food service account and issuing any improperly
withheld funds to sponsored centers and day care homes.
Overclaims that result from a Program review are from
the following general categories:
| 1. |
Meal
overclaims. This includes failure to meet meal pattern
requirements (including deductions for milk), inflated meal
count claims, and claiming unapproved meal types. |
| 2. |
Eligibility
determination overclaims resulting from errors in the classifying
and claiming of Program participants. |
| 3. |
Facility
participation overclaims. These overclaims result from sponsors
claiming facilities that are not eligible, two sponsors claiming
the same facility; or a sponsor claiming a facility before the
State Agency approval date for the facility’s participation. |
| 4. |
Facility
payment error overclaims including disbursing funds to ineligible
facilities and disbursing the incorrect amount of money to a
facility; and |
| 5. |
Cost
overclaims. These claims include misuse of nonprofit
food service account funds and unallowable administrative cost
claims for home sponsors. |
This information should provide institutions with
some clarity concerning overclaims mentioned in review letters that
result in amended claims.
