• On December 21, 2012, FNS assigned tentative 2013 caseload and

administrative grants to States, while CSFP was funded under a short-term Continuing Resolution, at a level prorated to $186.935 million.

• FY 2013 Full-year Continuing Resolution provided CSFP with

$181.873 million, after two across-the-board rescissions.

• Given this funding reduction, the national caseload level was

reduced to 588,000 on April 5, 2013. Reductions applied prorata to all States.

• Resources insufficient to support 6 new States with approved State

plans (CT, HI, ID, MA, MD, RI).

• CSFP has limited resources.
• Careful caseload and inventory management is key to ensuring that

CSFP food resources are used efficiently and can meet national demand throughout the year.

• Proactively monitor participation each month and ensure that

participation does not exceed assigned caseload on an average monthly basis.

• A Question-and-Answer document with more detailed information on

caseload management can be found on the CSFP website: http://www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/policymemo/pmfd099_CSFP- QA_Waiting_Lists_and_Caseload_Mgmt.pdf
