12VAC5-195-430: Change due to closure

A. Authorized retailers shall give the state agency written notice of a retailer's permanent or temporary closure within 15 calendar days before the actual closing date. A temporary closure is defined as a retailer location being closed to the public for more than 15 consecutive calendar days. Retailers closed to the public for any reason greater than 30 consecutive calendar days will have their WIC Program authorization terminated.

B. Failure to notify the state agency in writing of either permanent or temporary closure may result in the state agency taking administrative action, including terminating for cause the retailer's WIC authorization status.
