The Mid-Atlantic Regional Office of FNS awarded the District of Columbia Department of Human Services $904,859 to enhance efficiency and access in SNAP.

FNS is increasing the reimbursement rates that child nutrition program operators receive for meals served in Puerto Rico from 17% to 30% above the contiguous United States (CONUS) rates. The increased rates will also apply to Hawaii, Guam, and U.S. Virgin Islands as those locations also face unique hurdles associated with obtaining ingredients and getting needed supplies in island economies.
