This memorandum provides guidance concerning allowable FMNP cost that may be covered with Federal WIC funds.
This policy memorandum is intended to provide guidance concerning allowable sources for the WIC FMNP state matching funds.
This final policy memorandum provides clarification on several questions raised during the state plan guidance sessions at the NAFMNP meeting in October 2000.
This final rule implements three FMNP-related nondiscretionary provisions mandated in the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998. The three provisions pertain to the use of program income as a state matching fund source, elimination of specific state plan ranking criteria used to determine funding preferences, and use of expansion funds to increase the value of benefits to recipients.
This policy memorandum provides clarification concerning the use of Welch's grant funds to support activities in the WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP).
The purpose of this memo is to clarify policy for assessment of penalties for not meeting the match requirements and to change policy for assessment penalties for exceeding the 17/19 percent FMNP administrative cap.
This is to provide you with clarification regarding the recipient/farmer surveys and the FNS-203, FMNP Recipient Report.
This is to provide you with clarification concerning the use of farmer and market identifiers on FMNP coupons. FMNP regulations require that each coupon be marked with a farmer identifier.
This is to inform you of changes that will be made to the FMNP interim regulations. Because some aspects of this year's FMNP season have already begun, and the process of issuing regulations is long and complex, we wanted to offer state agencies the opportunity to implement the following provisions prior to publication of the final FMNP regulation.
We have concluded that neither the authorization of farmers or farmers' markets nor the exchange of a FMNP coupon between a certified FMNP recipient and an approved farmer or farmers' markets in the FMNP represents "covered transactions." Therefore, farmers or farmers' markets in the FMNP are not subject to the certification requirements.
