NOTES: |
|||||
|
Data are provided by
Federal Fiscal Year
(October through September). Commodity costs reflect the value of
food distributed to participants (Food Distribution on Indian Reservations
and Commodity Supplemental Food Program) or delivered to State warehouses
(all other programs).
FY 2007 data
are preliminary and all data are subject to revision. 1/ Participation data are 12-month averages. Total cost includes benefits, the Federal share of State administrative expenses, and other Federal costs (e.g., printing and processing stamps). 2/ Puerto Rico's Nutrition Assistance Grant provides benefits analogous to the Food Stamp Program. Smaller outlying areas with similar grants include American Samoa ($4.7 million in FY 2007) and the Northern Marianas ($9.4 million). 3/ National School Lunch and School Breakfast participation data are 9-month averages (summer months are excluded). They represent average daily meals served adjusted by an attendance factor. School Lunch costs include cash payments, entitlement commodities, bonus commodities (surplus foods donated by the Dept. of Agriculture), and cash-in-lieu of commodities. School Breakfast costs are cash payments. Cash payments are Federal reimbursements to State agencies based on meals served multiplied by reimbursement rates which are adjusted annually to reflect changes in food costs. Free and reduced-price meals served to needy children are reimbursed at much higher rates than full-price meals. 4/ Special milk costs are cash payments based on an annually determined reimbursement rate and the actual cost of free milk (a small portion of the total--less than 7% for all years). 5/ Total costs include cash payments, entitlement and bonus commodities, cash-in-lieu of commodities, sponsor administrative costs, start-up costs and audits. 6/ Average daily attendance is reported only for July, the peak month of activity. Costs include cash payments, entitlement and bonus commodities, and the Federal share of State and sponsor administrative costs. The decline in meals served since FY 2001 is largely attributable to alternative summer meal service in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program under Seamless Waiver provisions which eased reporting requirements for sponsors. 7/ The federal share of State administrative costs for the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, and Child and Adult Food Care Programs. 8/ Total costs include food benefits, nutrition services and administrative funds, the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, infrastructure, breastfeeding promotion and peer counseling, program evaluation, and technical assistance. 9/ Includes commodity distribution costs (entitlement and bonus), the Federal share of State administrative expenses, and other costs (such as storage and transportation, food losses and demo. projects--national level only, unavailable prior to FY 1996). 10/ The Nutrition Services Incentive Program was formerly called Nutrition Program for the Elderly. As of FY 2002, meals served are reported to the Agency on Aging (DHHS) rather than FNS. In FY 2003, administration of cash grants was transferred to the Agency on Aging, and FNS costs were limited to the value of commodities distributed. 11/ Total cost includes commodities distributed (entitlement and bonus) and the Federal share of State admin. expenses. Emergency food assistance is food made available to hunger relief organizations such as food banks and soup kitchens. It is not disaster relief. 12/ Most disaster relief is provided through the Food Stamp Program. 13/ Includes summer camps. |
