Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC); Food Funding Formula Rule

Resumo

This final rule amends regulations governing funding and funds allocation procedures for the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in order to simplify and update the funding process in anticipation of a fully funded program. The amendments provide a greater share of funds to State agencies receiving comparatively less than their fair share of funds based on their WIC income eligible population, provide all State agencies with stability funding, adjusted for inflation, to the extent funds are available, and simplify the food funding allocation process by eliminating obsolete features.
