HOUSEHOLD CERTIFICATION TRAINING COURSE

Welcome to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service’s Household Certification Training course for the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). FDPIR is a federal program that provides USDA foods to low-income households living on Indian reservations, in designated areas near reservations, and in the State of Oklahoma. FNS developed the FDPIR Household Certification Training course to help Indian Tribal Organization (ITO) and State agency certification workers and their supervisors successfully administer the program.

The training course is comprised of nine modules, designed to be taken in any order. Because the training is online, you can access the modules 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and revisit them to refresh your knowledge at any time. The knowledge gained in this training will help you provide the best support possible for current and potential FDPIR participants.

Below is a list of the nine modules in this training course.

	Module 1: Applicant Choice to Participate in FDPIR or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
	Module 2: Household Composition
	Module 3: Application Processing, Interviews, and Verification
	Module 4: Financial and Non-Financial Eligibility Criteria
	Module 5: Eligibility Determinations and Assigning Certification Periods
	Module 6: Recertification, Change Reporting, and Notice of Adverse Action
	Module 7: Claims Against Households
	Module 8: Disqualifications
	Module 9: Fair Hearings

At the end of each module is a short quiz you may take to test your knowledge of the key learning points covered in each module. When you finish all nine modules, you may test your knowledge of the entire training course by taking the post-test. You can send the results of each quiz and post test by using the email feature following the quiz/test.
