Snap tefap - grants to states

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded $240,165 to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services on October 1, 2025, under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) formula grant, with performance through September 30, 2026. The award funds storage and distribution costs for USDA Foods distributed through the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in New Hampshire. The funding allocation follows a legislatively mandated formula based on each state's relative share of persons with income below the poverty level (60 percent weighting) and unemployed persons (40 percent weighting). New Hampshire must make available at least 40 percent of the administrative grant to emergency feeding organizations or expend such funds on their behalf. Funds are provided through electronic transfer as needed for actual expenditures on a fiscal year basis; any unused funds are returned to the federal government and reallocated according to the statutory formula. Records accounting for receipts and dispersals must be retained for three years following the close of the fiscal year or until any outstanding audit, claim, or litigation is settled.
