FNS Documents & Resources

FNS is conducting additional demonstration projects to expand the evaluation of direct certification with Medicaid for both free and reduced price meal eligibility in NSLP and SBP.

A document with questions and answers regarding the FDPIR Self-Determination Demonstration Project round two funds.

During this webinar, FNS reviewed the demonstration project, the information required in proposals, and answered questions. 

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 added a new Section 23 on Childhood Hunger Research to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. This section provides substantial new mandatory funding to research the causes and consequences of childhood hunger and to test innovative strategies to end child hunger and food insecurity.

This document describes funds provided to American Indians/Alaska Natives that are excluded by federal law when determining eligibility for the FDPIR program.

FNS invites state agencies that administer the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program to apply to participate in demonstration projects that will evaluate the effectiveness of conducting direct certification with the Medicaid program.
