Hi, How can we help?

FAQ – CACFP Forms

What is the H1606 form?

The H1606 is the TDA Site Visit / Meal Observation Form. It’s used by sponsors of affiliated sites to document the required site monitor reviews — three per year per site, each observing a different meal service. The form captures what was served, attendance, meal count accuracy, and any compliance concerns observed. We provide a pre-filled H1606 for our clients to use during reviews. The H1606-P is a related variant for specific use cases.

What is the H4502 form?

The H4502 is the Claim for Reimbursement Worksheet. It calculates your monthly reimbursement based on meal counts, eligibility categories, and current TDA reimbursement rates. We generate and send you a completed H4502 each month based on your claim data in MyFoodCloud, which you can reference for your records or provide to a reviewer.

What is the H4503 form?

The H4503 is the Sponsoring Organization’s Disbursement Records. It documents how your CACFP reimbursement was spent — across food, supplies, labor, and administrative costs — and proves the funds were used appropriately. We prepare these for you and ask you to sign and date each page before returning them to us.

What is the H1540 form?

The H1540 is a monthly TDA reporting form that confirms your program operations and meal service data for the month. You’ll need to sign and return this each month as part of your standard reporting cycle in MyFoodCloud. We send it pre-filled based on your data.

Do I need to keep copies of these forms?

Yes. Keep signed copies of every H1540, H4502, H4503, and H1606 form on file for at least three program years (or longer if your sponsor agreement requires). Reviewers often ask for these during an administrative review, and missing forms are a common finding.
