293 Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) program is operated by the administrative counts of the number of individuals who participate in this program averaged over the calendar year. FNS will reduce the count in California by the Census Bureau's percentage of people below 125% of poverty in California who received Supplemental Security Income in the previous year. FNS reserves the right to use data from the American Community Survey (ACS) in lieu of the CPS, and to use the count of people below 130 percent of poverty, should these data become available in a timely fashion and prove more accurate. Such a substitution would apply to all States. (4) Application processing timeliness FNS will divide $6 million among the 6 States with the highest percentage of timely processed applications. A timely processed application is one that provides an eligible applicant the “opportunity to participate” within thirty days for normal processing or 7 days for expedited processing. New applications that are processed outside of this standard are untimely for this measure, except for applications that are properly pended because verification is incomplete and the State agency has taken all the necessary actions will not be included in this measure. Applications that are denied will not be included in this measure. Only applications that were filed on or after the beginning of the performance measurement (federal fiscal) year will be evaluated under this measure. FNS will use quality control data to determine each State's rate of application processing timeliness.
