Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) understands that the use of offsite monitoring in prior years was effective for many sponsoring organizations of day care homes (DCH). This optional waiver request form was designed to streamline the process for State agencies requesting a waiver for sponsoring organizations to conduct one offsite monitoring review of DCHs participating in the CACFP.  \nState agencies and eligible service providers are encouraged to submit complete waiver requests as soon as possible.

Detailed description of alternative procedures and anticipated impact on Program operations, including technology, State systems, and monitoring:  \nInterested Sponsoring Organizations must notify the State Agency of their intent to participate in the waiver by completing a request form. This request form will require the Sponsoring Organization to submit their updated monitoring plan, details of their off-site technology platforms, an explanation of how the plan will ensure thorough completion of off-site visits, and a contingency plan for any missed virtual visits. ISBE will review these request forms and based on the information provided by the Sponsoring Organizations, grant approval for them to use the off-site waiver.  \nThere will be no impact on program operations for the State Agency or  \nlevel id h t h  \n7. Description of any steps the State has taken to address regulatory barriers at the State level.
