Make Sure to Recertify CSFP Clients Every Six Months

Per USDA regulations, a CSFP client must be recertified every 6 months.  Once they’ve reached the mandatory recertification date, this action must take place before they receive their next monthly food box.

How do you know when recertification is required?

Link2Feed:  If your site is inputting information within the L2F data base, you’ll see a red banner on the left hand side with the note: Recertification Required  —  You must recertify to continue. Recertification is required for this particular CSFP Client.  Please complete the recertification process, issue the food box and then document on the CSFP service tab.  Note:  Sometimes it’s easy to forget to perform the CSFP service tab function after completing the recertification.  It’s very important to note the food box distribution!

Paper Client Sign-In Forms:  If your site is collecting client signatures when issuing a food box, you’ll see a notation of “Please Recertify” next to the client’s name.   Please complete the recertification process by using the CSFP Application form followed by submitting recertification forms immediately to our office.

How do you recertify a client?

It’s easy!  Simply ask the participating senior, “Has any of your information changed within the last 6 months?”  As this program is “self-declaration”, there is no need to mandate documents for proof of eligibility.

Paper Client Sign-In Forms:  If they state “No”, capture their signature on page 2 of the CSFP Application.  If they state “Yes”, capture their updated information on page 1 of the CSFP Application along with a signature.

Link2Feed:  Link2Feed users, simply follow the data base prompts and capture a signature.

The CSFP Application must still be completed at this time.  FBR & CDHS are working through processes to move towards going “green” within the next fiscal year.

Note:  If your site is interested in using Link2Feed, contact our office to inquire about upcoming training sessions!

If we all work together, we can make sure every eligible senior that needs a box, receives one. Thank you for all you do!!!!
