2013 20 13 Ap Appro propriation priation & Ca Case seloa load On December 21, 2012, FNS assigned tentative 2013 caseload and administrative grants to States, while CSFP was funded under a short-term Continuing Resolution, at a level prorated to $186.935 million. FY 2013 Full-year Continuing Resolution provided CSFP with $181.873 million, after two across-the-board rescissions. Given this funding reduction, the national caseload level was reduced to 588,000 on April 5, 2013. Reductions applied prorata to all States. Resources insufficient to support 6 new States with approved State plans (CT, HI, ID, MA, MD, RI).

Re Reso source urce Ma Mana nage gemen ment • CSFP has limited resources. • Careful caseload and inventory management is key to ensuring that CSFP food resources are used efficiently and can meet national demand throughout the year. • Proactively monitor participation each month and ensure that participation does not exceed assigned caseload on an average monthly basis. • A Question-and-Answer document with more detailed information on caseload management can be found on the CSFP website: http://www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/policymemo/pmfd099_CSFP- QA_Waiting_Lists_and_Caseload_Mgmt.pdf
Re Resou ource rce Manageme anagement nt • An updated “ CSFP P In Invent entor ory y Calculat ulator or 3.1 .1 ” was issued in July. Adds new Web-Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) codes to the calculator. • The Inventory Calculator is a tool for tracking inventory levels – recommended levels 2 to 2 ½ months by food package category. • Combines data submitted on the FNS-153 with WBSCM food order reports to provide an estimated State inventory level.
