FNS Documents & Resources

USDA’s goal across all summer nutrition programs is simple: Connect children with nutritious food during the summer months to help them grow and thrive. The interim final rule published this week is an important step forward in increasing access to these services

FNS partnered with the Michigan State agency and Code For America to provide an update on Summer EBT as part of the USDA Child Nutrition State Agency Meeting. The presentation provided an overview of available guidance and resources and facilitated a panel discussion about implementation challenges and solutions.

This document describes the methods by which Summer EBT agencies conduct verification for Summer EBT applications.

Through this rulemaking, FNS aims to improve the quality of race and ethnicity data collected and to ensure program benefits are distributed without regard to race, color, or national origin.

This rulemaking serves to amend WIC program regulations by incorporating provisions of the Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022 and making related amendments.

With this final rule, FNS is revising Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program regulations that cover collecting and reporting race and ethnicity data by state agencies on persons receiving benefits from SNAP. 

USDA summer nutrition programs can now reach more kids than ever before. There are now three ways to serve kids through USDA’s summer nutrition programs.
