Provider Application

Sponsors must complete a Provider Application for each of their Providers. The Provider Application screen provides access to the annual application for the Child and Adult Care Food Program for both new and renewing Providers. New applications must be completed annually. Existing Provider applications are automatically “rolled over” and do not require additional submission if no changes are made. CNIPS will automatically set them to an Approved status upon rollover. If the Sponsor changes a Provider application, it is moved into a Pending Validation status.

1. On the blue menu bar, select Applications.

2. From the Applications menu, select Application Packet - DCH. (If you have not selected a Sponsor, the Sponsor Search screen displays.) The most current year’s Application Packet screen displays for the selected Sponsor.
