4.            Nutrition Education

This is not new funding, but rather a technical correction due to an Auditor General finding. In prior years, the Family Independence Agency (FIA) treated Federal funding provided by the United States Food and Nutrition Service to Michigan State University (MSU) for a nutrition education program as a direct pass-through without recording the expenditures on the State's books. The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) recently determined that Michigan State University must be treated as a vendor, and payments for MSU's nutrition education program must be recorded as expenditures. This supplemental request establishes a new line titled "Nutrition Education," and a Federal funding authorization of $7.7 million to comply with the OAG finding.
