This webinar was held for CSFP state agency partners to talk about the CSFP provisions in the Food Distribution Programs Final Rule (89 FR 87228).

Each January the USDA releases annual Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) caseload levels for states. This February 20, 2020 webinar discussed how national caseload is calculated, how states receive additional caseload, and best practices for caseload management.  Additionally, we provided an overview of the new CSFP certification period requirements under the 2018 Farm Bill and how the change affects caseload management.

The National CSFP Association (NCSFPA) holds an annual conference where state and local agencies meet to discuss issues related to CSFP.  During the conference, FNS updates program operators and stakeholders about program changes and initiatives, provides training to state and local program operators, builds partnerships, and obtains feedback on program-related issues.

This webinar discusses how to encourage variety in the CSFP Food Package and how to structure and operate your CSFP program to provide the greatest benefit to your clients.
