A review at the Sponsor level should involve a review of how the claim for
reimbursement is assembled and a review of the records maintained by the Sponsor.
Regardless of the specific administrative review procedures, all Sponsors must make their
records available for the DACS's review and must implement all corrective actions
recommended by the DACS. The results of an administrative review may affect the
amount of reimbursement a Sponsor will receive.
Violations of program requirements may result in withholding or recovery of
reimbursements, temporary suspension, or termination and exclusion from future
program participation.
When the DACS finds violations during a site review, it will require the Sponsor to
correct the problems found. Ifthe DACS finds a high level of meal service violations at a
site, it will immediately require the Sponsor to follow a specific corrective action plan.
The DACS will initiate a follow-up system to ensure that Sponsors take the specific
action (as outlined in the plan) for correcting site violations.
Failure to submit an acceptable corrective action plan may affect your future participation
in the program.
