Of all pregnant women who enter the WIC program, 32 % shall be certified as eligible during the period of the fIrst trimester of their pregnancy. For purposes of this measure, these women will be counted by the WIN system as pregnant women whose certification date is within the reporting period and who were in the fIrst trimester of pregnancy when certified. 87 % of clients who are enrolled in the program shall participate each month. In the WIC Program, enrollment and participation are two different measures. A client who is certified as eligible for benefits is "enrolled" in the program. An enrolled client who is issued and receives food vouchers is a "participant." For purposes of this measure, clients are counted by the WIN system as "participating" at a local agency if they are issued food vouchers by that agency. For purposes of this measure, clients are counted by the WIN system as "enrolled" at a local agency if they are within a valid certification period and the client record is not designated as marked for transfer to another agency (i.e., there is not a WIN system "TR Lock" indicator for the client). 33 % percent of infants whose mothers were participants in the program during pregnancy (i.e, "Bom-to-WIC infants") shall be breastfed at the time of their certification. An infant is considered to be breastfed (Bt) if the infant is receiving breastmilk on the average of at least once a day. For purposes of this measure, an infant will be counted as "Bom-to-WIC" by the WIN system with a risk condition code of "940." Whether or not an infant is breastfed at the time of certification shall be determined by WIN system data indicating a certification date within the report period and either (1) a "Yes" entry in the "Currently Bf' field or (2) a "No" entry in the "Currently BF field coupled with an entry in the "Date Ended BF field which is later than the date of certification. 95 % of clients who indicate during the enrollment process that they have no source of health care shall be referred to at least one source of health care at certification. Clients with no source of health care shall be counted by the WIN system if an entry of "00 - Self/None" is in the "Referred From" field. A health care referral shall be counted by the WIN system if an entry in the "Referred To" field is other than "00 - Self/None." A quarterly activity report which demonstrates PERFORMING AGENCY'S efforts towards meeting assigned annual targets will be completed and submitted to RECEMNG AGENCY within twenty (20) days after the end of each quarter of the federal fiscal year.
