<p>Please note that as of June 2024, our digital TEFAP Attestation is only approved in New York and Colorado. </p>

TEFAP stands for The Emergency Food Assistance Program which is a federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income Americans, by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost. If you offer TEFAP-funded food at your pantry, you are required to complete a TEFAP form for each neighbor/client who receives TEFAP-funded food. Please visit the Office of General Services website to learn more.

Fill in the neighbor's address details. Please note that only state is required for the NY TEFAP Attestation.

Please fill in any benefit programs that the neighbor is participating. Only fill in those asked. If none, click NEXT

If the neighbor answers 'YES' to any of the benefits programs, then they are TEFAP eligible and you may skip to step 18. 

If the neighbor is not eligible for any of the benefit programs, then they must provide their household size and income information to determine TEFAP eligibility. The household breakdown is provided using the neighbor's profile. Only total household size is required. 

Fill in the neighbor's household size. Please note that only the total household size is required. Any additional information for individual members or age groups is collected from the neighbor's Plentiful profile. 

Review the income eligibility. Based on the household size given in the previous step, the relevant income row will be highlighted. Choose if the neighbor's income is below the indicated income under 'Status'. 

The eligibility results will appear on the screen. Review the attestation, click on the box to agree that everything provided in the form was true. 

The neighbor may add their name or initials (optional). 

Click on 'Submit' if finished or 'Back' if you would like to make any changes. 

Click on SERVE VISITOR.

<p>Please note that a red TEFAP badge may indicate that they haven't completed the form before or that they have not re-attested (this will be in the next step). </p>

A banner will appear next to the neighbor's name with their TEFAP status. Please refer to the guide on the right to understand what each banner color represents. 

Each time the neighbor visits your program, the TEFAP Attestation form will pop up after adding them as a visitor asking if there have been any changes to their eligibility information.

Click on NO if there are no changes that need to be documented.
