Next Steps
Check your document one more time as you prepare to upload them to the Maryland EXCELS System.
Step 1: Check your document
If applicable, check to make sure you completed the Ineligibility / Non-Participation Form before you upload it to the Maryland EXCELS System. Complete this form only if your program is ineligible to participate in CACFP or has chosen not to participate in the program.
Step 2: Save your document
Use a file name you can find easily when you upload it to the system (example: CACFP-IneligibleForm.docx).
Use any one of these formats:
- Typed electronic form (example: PDF)
- Scanned form (examples: PDF, PNG, JPG)
- Digital image of form (examples: JPG, PNG, PDF)
Step 3: Upload your document (ADM 3.4 - if applicable)
Log into the Maryland EXCELS System to upload your Non-Participation / Ineligibility form, if applicable.
Remember, if you already participate in the CACFP program, you will need to submit CACFP (ADM 3.4) for review by your Program Coordinator who will verify your participation.
