Notice Regarding Families with members deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom
For the duration of Operation Enduring Freedom, USDA is allowing an exception to current policy on determining household income and size for deployed service members:
Only that portion of the deployed service member’s income made available by them or on their behalf to the household will be counted as income to the household. In addition, the deployed service member will continue to be considered a household member. If you have any questions, please call Nutrition Services at 800-731-2233.
