Benchmark: Proposed Rule: Enhancing Food Program Integrity

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on the Serious Deficiency Process in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). In about five minutes, you’ll gauge your grasp of the rule’s intent, operational impacts, key trade-offs (speed vs. due process, consistency vs. flexibility, integrity vs. access), and your readiness to implement changes.

You’ll see whether you understand shifts like the move to “serious management problem,” the path to “full correction,” clarified timelines, suspension options, reciprocal disqualification via the NDL, Computer Matching Act responsibilities, and coordinated oversight for multi-state sponsors. Use your results to decide if you need the full course, targeted modules, or just a quick refresher. These are not recall questions—they probe how you’d navigate real decisions shaped by the proposed rule, so you can prioritize the learning that will have the biggest impact on your program.
