Sec. 250.11  Eligibility determination for recipient agencies and 

recipients.



    (a) Verification of recipient agency eligibility. Distributing 

agencies at the request of FNS shall:

    (1) Verify that recipient agencies registered to participate in the 

National Commodity Processing (NCP) Program have a current agreement 

with the distributing agency to receive donated food in accordance with 

Sec. 252.1(c) and

    (2) Report the results of such verification to FNS within timeframes 

determined by FNS.

    (b) Eligibility of recipient agencies and recipients. Distributing 

agencies shall determine the eligibility of any agency which submits an 

application for participation in the program. Distributing agencies 

shall consider the past performance of recipient agencies when approving 

applications for participation. Once a recipient agency has been 

determined to be eligible for participation in the program, the 

distributing agency shall enter into an agreement with the agency in 

accordance with Sec. 250.12(b) and make donated food available. 

Distributing agencies shall impose upon welfare agencies the 

responsibility for determining that recipients to whom welfare agencies 

distribute donated foods are eligible: Provided, however: That the State 

agency or FNSRO administering the applicable program shall determine the 

eligibility under this part of school food authorities participating 

under part 210 or part 220, or sponsors participating in the Summer Food 

Service Program for Children under part 225, of this chapter, and of 

nonresidential child care institutions participating in the Child Care 

Food Program under part 226 of this chapter.
