Submitting an Application Packet

The SFA can submit the Application Packet to the State once all required applications,  online forms (e.g., Food Service Management Company contract), and  supporting documents identified on the checklist  are completed and saved without errors.

In order to be able to submit an Application Packet, the packet must contain:

·       A completed SFA Application with no errors.

·       At least one completed SNP Site Application with no errors.

·       All items in the Checklist are identified as submitted to TDA.

·       If the SFA had identified that they would be using a Food Safety Management Company on their SFA Application, the packet must contain at least one Food Service Management Company contract with a status of “Submitted”.

Only complete Application Packets that have no errors can be submitted to the State.  To submit a completed Application Packet, the SFA would select the Submit for Approval button. This simulates sending a completed Application Packet in the mail.  Application items are placed in a view-only mode for the SFA.  Once the Application Packet has been submitted to the State for approval, the packet history section of the Application Packet screen will display the event and the packet status changes to Submitted for Approval.
