Evaluation of the FY 2016 Team Nutrition Training Grants

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Team Nutrition Training Grant (TNTG) program began in 1995 to assist students participating in the National School Lunch Program (NLSP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) in making healthy food choices and to improve the nutritional content of meals and snacks served by programs receiving Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) funding. The grant funding provided to state agencies in support of these programs is intended to be used for training, technical assistance, and nutrition education to assist schools, child care settings, summer meal sites, parents or caregivers, and children to align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

School Breakfast Program

The School Breakfast Program (SBP) provides reimbursement to states to operate nonprofit breakfast programs in schools and residential childcare institutions. The Food and Nutrition Service administers the SBP at the federal level. State education agencies administer the SBP at the state level, and local school food authorities operate the program in schools.

Special Milk Program

Providing Nutritious Milk to Children
The Special Milk Program (SMP) provides milk to children in schools and childcare institutions who do not participate in other federal meal service programs. The program reimburses schools for the milk they serve. Schools in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Programs may also participate in the Special Milk Program to provide milk to children in half-day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs where children do not have access to the school meal programs.

Third National Survey of WIC Participants

The National Survey of WIC Participants (NSWP) study series is designed to describe state and local agency characteristics, examine participants’ characteristics, assess participants’ experiences with WIC, and estimate improper payments resulting from certification errors in WIC. The study is conducted approximately every 10 years, and the current study is the third iteration (NSWP-III) in the series.

State of Origin for USDA Foods in Fiscal Year 2021

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service’s (FNS) food distribution programs provide food and nutrition assistance to schoolchildren and families and support American agriculture by distributing high-quality, 100-percent American-grown USDA Foods.
This report shows which USDA Foods products were purchased from each state. Although USDA is unable to provide state of origin information prior to ordering due to the competitive nature of the procurements, this report provides a retrospective look.

Results of FNS-Administered School Food Authority Survey on Supply Chain Disruption

The vast majority (90 percent) of SFAs are using the Seamless Summer Option Waiver to serve meals in SY 2021-22 which allows schools to offer all students free meals at the higher Summer Food Service Program reimbursement rates. Public and larger SFAs were more likely to use the waiver than smaller or private SFAs.

SFAs reported experiencing the most challenges procuring meal service supplies, meat/meat alternates (such as chicken products), and whole grain items (including bakery items, breads and rolls). Many SFAs reported that these challenges are getting worse compared to the beginning of SY 2021-22.

USDA Community Eligibility Provision Characteristics Study SY 2016-17

This Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Characteristics study is the first comprehensive study since CEP became available nationwide in SY 2014-15. The study was designed to provide the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) with information about the impact of CEP. The study included both an implementation and impact component.

Key findings in this report include:
CEP participation increased both student school meal participation and level of federal reimbursements.
Seventy-six percent of Local Education Agencies (LEA) participating in CEP elected to participate LEA-wide.
The LEA-wide Identified Student Percentage (ISP) was the most important perceived factor in CEP election.
Eligible, non-participating LEAs indicated that CEP would be more appealing if the factor used to determine meal reimbursement levels were increased.
Financial concerns were the largest barrier to CEP participation for LEAs with lower ISPs.

Best Practices in the SNAP Employment and Training Program

This study is the second in a series of reviews of effective employment and training ET program components and practices. The study included a review of research focusing on SNAP ET and other public workforce programs published from 2016 to 2020. Particular attention was given to recent changes to the SNAP ET program, new referral and retention strategies, and promising work-based learning interventions, like apprenticeships.

Updating Standardized State Heating and Cooling Utility Allowance Values

While most Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility parameters are set at the federal level, states may establish their own standard utility allowances (SUAs) which are part of the excess shelter expense deduction. The use of SUAs, including heating and cooling SUAs (HCSUAs) for households with heating and cooling expenses, simplifies the application process for both the applicant and the state agency. However, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has found some variation between established HCSUA values and household utility expenses in some states.

Survey of USDA's SNAP E&T Program Case Management

With the passage of the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (known as the 2018 Farm Bill), states are now required to provide case management to all Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) program participants. Although some states have provided case management as part of their SNAP E&T programs for many years, others are now implementing it for the first time or enhancing their services in response to this requirement. States' case management and assessment practices have not been well documented.
