" Processing accounts should be used during the program year at the USDA Foods-recommended guidance rate of 10% per month. Tracking systems can provide this information to users. Additionally, at the end of the program year, the generated reports can help identify the entitlement used during that year. (Glenda W)
"
ROUTINELY CHECK ACCOUNT BALANCES
Every month, Recipient Agencies should check their processing end balances in the tracking systems - Processor Link and K12Foodservice. Routinely checking balances can ensure that pounds are being drawn down properly, that credit for USDA value has been applied, that transfers have been posted, and that the correct end products are being ordered. If you do not have access to the tracking systems, contact your local Education Service Center for technical support.
ANNUAL TRANSFER EXERCISE
Form H4529.1- Authorization to Transfer USDA Foods
Transfers to and from the state account and School-to-School transfers are being conducted from January to April 30, 2026. RAs meeting the transfer criteria of balances being one month or less on hand can request up to three months of inventory, according to their average monthly usage. State account pounds are not always available.
Review your account balances in the tracking systems and check the State Account Balances before requesting transfers.
