Snap fdpir SAE

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Oneida Nation $641,228 on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (CFDA 10.567) to provide administrative operations for supplemental food distribution through September 30, 2027. The award supports the Oneida Nation's administration of FDPIR, including household eligibility certification, management of food inventory and distribution logistics, and maintenance of program records on the Hobart, Wisconsin reservation and approved service areas. Under FDPIR, the Oneida Nation certifies income-eligible tribal households and distributes monthly food packages selected by recipients from over 100 available USDA Foods, including frozen and canned proteins, legumes, produce, grains, and dairy. The program serves as an alternative to SNAP for households with limited access to SNAP offices or authorized retailers. The Oneida Nation acts as an Indian Tribal Organization administering the program under federal/state agreement, responsible for ordering foods on a predetermined schedule, maintaining accurate case files and household records for three years following the fiscal year, and certifying households according to national eligibility standards based on SNAP net income thresholds adjusted for household size. Eligible participants may not receive both FDPIR and SNAP benefits in the same month. Administrative funding is obligated annually, with period of availability across two federal fiscal years before expiring.
