0 Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (USDA), has the right to seek judicial enforcement if Contractor violates any nondiscrimination laws. This Assurance is binding on Contractor, its successors, transferees, and assignees, as long as they receive assistance or retain possession of any assistance from the Department of Agriculture. The person or persons whose signatures appear on the Core Contract are authorized to sign this Assurance on behalf of Contractor. Contractor shall comply with all of the requirements of the current WIC Policy and Procedures Manual and Program rules as well as state and federal laws and amendments governing or regulating the WIC Program. A copy of the current WIC Policy and Procedures Manual has been made available to Contractor. The WIC Policy and Procedures Manual, and all revisions made to the WIC Policy and Procedures Manual are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Contractor has a duty to become familiar with the contents and procedures contained within the WIC Policy and Procedures Manual. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that employees or agents acting on behalf of Contractor comply with all of the requirements of the WIC Policy and Procedures Manual, Program rules and all state and federal laws and amendments governing and regulating the WIC Program. General Provisions, Payment Methods and Restrictions Article, Section 4.01, Payment Methods, is hereby modified to include the following paragraphs: The participant caseload will be assigned by DSHS by giving written notice to Contractor. The participant caseload is subject to change upon written notice to Contractor from DSHS with Contractor's concurrence. Contractor assumes liability for all food costs resulting from Contractor exceeding its assigned caseload. The number of individuals served in excess of assigned caseload are not to be included in the calculation of earned administrative funds as described below. DSHS will reimburse Contractor for administrative costs incurred when determining eligibility, providing appropriate nutrition education and counseling, issuing food instruments, making participant referrals, vendor evaluation, outreach, start-up costs and general administrative support. Administrative costs will be reimbursed based on actual costs, but not to exceed the "maximum reimbursement" set out below, based upon the sum of the participants who actually receive food instruments each month plus infants who do not receive any food instruments whose breastfeeding mothers were participants to the extent that the total so derived does not exceed Contractor's total assigned caseload within any given month. Surplus funds (the amount by which maximum reimbursements exceed actual costs) can be accumulated and carried forward within the contract Attachment term. Surplus encumbered by September 30 shall be billed and vouchers received by DSHS no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the term of the program attachment. PROGRAM ATTACHMENT - Page 6
