Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): Final Rule-WIC Nondiscretionary Funding Modifications of P.L. 106-224
Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
This final rule amends the WIC Program regulations to incorporate two nondiscretionary funding provisions mandated by the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000. The first change modifies the methodology used to calculate the national administrative grant per person, which is used to determine the amount of WIC funds to be used for food benefits and nutrition services and administration (NSA). The second change provides greater flexibility for State agencies in noncontiguous States containing a significant number of remote Indian or Native villages by permitting them to convert food funds to cover allowable NSA costs incurred in providing services and breastfeeding support to those areas.
