The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the State Of West Virginia Department Of Agriculture $336,358 in formula grant funding on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560). The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with performance occurring in West Virginia.

The funding supports the state agency's administrative expenses in supervising and providing technical assistance to local schools, school districts, and institutions conducting Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program. The allocation is calculated as a percentage of funds expended by West Virginia during the preceding fiscal year under the applicable child nutrition statutes, with the specific percentage varying by program. The state agency must maintain records documenting all administrative expenses in conformance with its approved SAE plan and retain current accounting records identifying fund authorizations, obligations, unobligated balances, assets, liabilities, outlays, and income. The state may carry over up to twenty percent of allocated SAE funds for obligation and expenditure during the succeeding fiscal year and is required to undergo a single audit annually.
