28 Pa. Code § 1103.2 - Probationary authorization
(a)
Criteria for probationary authorization. If during the onsite
review, the store fails to meet selection criteria in §
1103.4(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or
(8) (relating to selection criteria for
authorization and reauthorization), the Department will grant probationary
authorization to the store for a period not to exceed 6 months when either of
the following applies:
(1) Inadequate
participant access would occur if the store is not authorized or
reauthorized.
(2) A store is
reviewed prior to opening to the public and the store has not yet stocked its
dairy section or its frozen juice section.
(b)
Reviews during probationary
authorization period. If a store receives probationary authorization,
the Department will conduct an unannounced onsite review during the
probationary authorization period to determine whether the store is in
compliance with selection criteria in §
1103.4. The Department will
rescind probationary authorization and deny the store's application to serve as
a WIC authorized store if the store fails to meet one or more of the selection
criteria during this review, unless extension is required under subsection (c).
The Department will grant authorization or reauthorization, as applicable, if
the store meets all selection criteria during the second onsite
review.
(c)
Extension of
probationary authorization. If the store fails the review conducted
during the probationary authorization period, and inadequate participant access
exists as determined by the Department, the Department will extend probationary
authorization for an additional 3 months during which time at least one
representative of the store who is responsible for training store personnel on
the WIC Program shall attend corrective training.
(d)
Extended probationary
authorization reviews. The Department will conduct an unannounced
onsite review during the extended probationary authorization period after the
store representative has attended corrective training, to determine whether the
store is in compliance with the selection criteria in § 1103.4. The
Department will rescind probationary authorization and deny the store's
application to serve as a WIC authorized store if the store fails to meet one
or more of the selection criteria during this review. The Department will grant
authorization or reauthorization, as applicable, if the store meets all
selection criteria during the third and final unannounced onsite
review.
(e)
Rescission of
probationary authorization. If the Department rescinds the
probationary or extended probationary authorization of a store, the store is
eligible to apply for authorization 6 months from the date of the Department's
rescission of probationary or extended probationary authorization.
