On May 10, 2024, FNS published two revised policy memoranda:
- FD-149: Questions and Answers about Flexibilities in TEFAP to Streamline Distribution of Foods and Reduce Barriers to Participation
- FD-150: Questions and Answers about Flexibilities in CSFP to Streamline Distribution of Foods and Reduce Barriers to Participation.
These two policy memoranda describe flexibilities available in the operation of CSFP and TEFAP. FNS first released these memos in May 2020 to provide guidance on flexibilities to support program operators during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. The flexibilities remain available to State and local agencies, as described in the revised memos.
