None of the clientele served by the organization can be classified as homeless as defined in the Glossary under the definition of a “Homeless Household.” Denials of authorized meal provider status will be reviewed by the Manager of the SNAP Section prior to notification of the Center. When the DCO County Administrator determines that an organization should not be authorized as a meal provider, one copy of the Application for Homeless Meal Provider Status and all copies of the Meal Provider Visit Record and Disposal will be sent to the manager of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Section, Slot S335. If the manager agrees with the decision to deny authorization, he or she will sign the Meal Provider Visit Record and Disposal and return the original and two copies to the county. One copy will be retained in the SNAP Section. If the manager does not agree with the denial, the Area Director will be contacted. The Area Director will make the final decision about the disposition of the application. For approvals, both the original Application for Homeless Meal Provider Status and the original Meal Provider Visit Record and Disposal will be sent to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Section, Slot S335, and then forwarded by the SNAP Section to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service, Room 3313, Federal Building, Little Rock, AR 72201.
