proposed or taken in response to all observation(s) and finding(s) of noncompliance with federal regulations. The term “Required Corrective Action” is the element of the ME report that conveys the action(s) that must be taken to correct the noncompliance with federal regulations, FNS instructions, and/or policy memoranda prescribed by the FNS and/or the CDSS. A Corrective Action Plan (CAP) must be sent to the CDSS within 60 calendar days after receipt of the ME report. The CDSS will decide whether the corrective actions proposed in the CAP are adequate to resolve any findings. Once acceptable corrective actions have been implemented and adequate verification has been provided, the CDSS will issue a closeout letter to confirm the finding(s) have been closed. The CDSS provides support to all entities responsible for the administration of the CalFresh E&T program in aligning their program and services with all federal and state regulations and policies. The CDSS CalFresh E&T ME calendar is on our public webpage. 1/28/26, 11:04 AM State Plan CA FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-cafy26stateplan//index.html 7/286
