FNS Documents & Resources

We were asked by the FCC to issue a reminder about cooperating with contractors auditing school districts’ receipt of funds under the FCC’s E-Rate fund.  Auditing for the current cycle is scheduled to begin in December 2008. 

FNS staff is working on making improvements to the QC process. One of the major components of the improvements that we are working towards is the development of a paperless work environment for both state and federal QC staff.

It has come to our attention that there is confusion over the Quality Control application of the certification policy that allows state agencies to disallow deductions when the households fails to provide requested verification or fails to report an expense after being advised that failure to do so would result in the loss of a deduction.

This policy memorandum contains guidance to Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program state agencies regarding the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 that provides rebates to many low and middle-income households.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a summary of the information provided during our calls with regional offices and state agencies regarding implementation of the FFVP as established in The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008.

This is a follow up to our Nov. 8, 2007, memorandum to Food Stamp Program Directors concerning overuse of 15 percent Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents exemptions by state agencies.

On March 22, 2007, this office transmitted the attached memorandum to program directors to clarify that the Food Stamp Act prohibited providing Food Stamp Employment and Training program services to food stamp recipients receiving cash assistance funded by expenditures of state funds that count toward meeting the state’s TANF Maintenance–Of–Effort requirements.

The purpose of this memo is to highlight previously issued guidance on the disclosure of eligibility information between child nutrition programs, and to offer clarification on the application of this policy.
