Tier Status Determination
My Food Program stores the dates of a tier status determination for family child care homes. Note: family child care homes without a tier status determination or with an expired Tier I determination will be treated as Tier II. To see the tier status and dates of all providers, run a Site Export Report from the sponsor-level Reports section. Providers that are eligible to claim their own children need to have a household income form added in addition to the tier status determination.
