Template 5: SNAP-ED Plan Assurances Yes No The State SNAP agency is accountable for the content of the State SNAP-Ed Plan and provides oversight to any sub-grantees. The State SNAP agency is fiscally responsible for nutrition education activities funded with SNAP funds and is liable for repayment of unallowable costs. X   Efforts have been made to target SNAP-Ed to the SNAP-Ed target population. Only expanded or additional coverage of those activities funded under the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) are claimed under the SNAP-Ed grant. Approved activities are those designed to expand the State's current EFNEP coverage in order to serve additional SNAP-Ed individuals or to provide additional education services to EFNEP clients who are eligible for the SNAP. Activities funded under the EFNEP grant are not included in the budget for SNAP-Ed. Documentation of payments for approved SNAP- Ed activities is maintained by the State and will be available for USDA review and audit. Contracts are procured through competitive bid procedures governed by State procurement regulations. Program activities are conducted in compliance with all applicable Federal laws, rules, and regulations including Civil Rights and OMB circulars governing cost issues. Program activities do not supplant existing nutrition education programs, and where operating in conjunction with existing programs, enhance and supplement them. Program activities are reasonable and necessary to accomplish SNAP-Ed objectives and goals. All materials developed or printed with SNAP Education funds include the appropriate USDA nondiscrimination statement and credit to SNAP as a funding source. Messages of nutrition education and obesity prevention are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. x
