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.
