Objective
Direct Certification Performance Awards are designed to encourage States to ensure that all eligible children living in households receiving benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are directly certified for free school meals. Each year for three years, USDA may award a total of up to 15 States for exemplary performance in their direct certification efforts with SNAP. $2 million is available for each of two categories of awards: Outstanding Performance and Substantial Improvement, for a total of $4 million each year for FY 2012, FY 2013, and FY 2014.
Type of Assistance
C - Direct Payments for Specified Use
Applicant Eligibility
Only the State agencies that administer the NSLP are eligible. There is no application needed for the Outstanding Performance Awards. NSLP State agencies that are interested in being considered for the Substantial Improvement Awards, however, must submit a “Letter of Intent to Compete.” Specific guidance goes out to the NSLP State agencies in the spring before the award is made.
Beneficiary Eligibility
The State agency that administers the NSLP may use the funds for program purposes or may transfer all or part of the funds to local SFAs for use in carrying out the program.
