Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) of the Older Americans Act (OAA)
New Guidance: Title III Program, Reporting, and Fiscal Updates
ACL’s Office of Nutrition and Health Promotion Programs anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to cause skewing of traditional meal service and NSIP meal counts. Previously, ACL held harmless federal fiscal year (FFY) 2021 and 2022 NSIP grant allocations. This process will be continued into FFY2023 for Title III NSIP grant allocations.
Specifically, ACL will continue to hold harmless NSIP meal counts from FY2019 and apply them to FFY2023 NSIP grant award allocations. This will ease the requirement to count and report FFY2022 NSIP meals for purposes of FFY2023 NSIP funding. Detailed guidance on the program and policy, State Performance Report (SPR)/Older Americans Act Performance System (OAAPS), and financial implications is now available.
