Tefap farm bill

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Indiana Department of Health $220,374 under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) formula grant on October 1, 2025, for the period ending September 30, 2026.

The award funds storage and distribution costs for TEFAP USDA Foods. Indiana receives its allocation under the legislatively-mandated formula that weights each state's relative share of persons with income below the poverty level (60 percent) and unemployed persons (40 percent). The state must make at least 40 percent of administrative funds available to emergency feeding organizations or expend such funds on their behalf.

Place of performance is Indiana. The Indiana Department of Health administers nutrition assistance programs at its administrative headquarters in Indianapolis and through subordinate county-level sites across the state. Funds are provided through electronic transfer as needed for actual expenditures on a fiscal year basis; any unobligated funds revert to the federal government for reallocation.
