This letter provides information to WIC state agencies and WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program state agencies on available American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 waivers and a new state agency request process.
Pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 are eligible. They must meet income guidelines, a state residency requirement, and be individually determined to be at "nutritional risk" by a health professional.
The National Association of Farmers' Market Nutrition Program directors held their first annual meeting in Baltimore, MD, on Oct. 7-9, 1993. At that meeting, a number of questions were raised during our program requirement session. Attached are these questions and our responses for your information.
This policy is intended to clarify the issue of Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) administrative funds for training and meetings and conferences as allowable administrative costs, as well as the circumstances under which WIC or FMNP administrative funds may be used.
