The Agency is limited to two budget adjustments per funding source between January 1 and May 30. Additional adjustments must be required or approved by the Concerned Funding Agency. f) Availability of USDA Resources. Should the COG receive USDA funds for disbursement to the Agency, payments shall be made monthly based on the number of meals served by the Agency, which meet service standard requirements multiplied by the per meal reimbursement rate set by USDA. The USDA revenue must be fully accounted for by the Agency and used during the contract period to offset the costs of services provided. 6. Sliding Fee Scale for State Funded Res ite Care Services.
