SALT LAKE CITY — Eligibility criteria for those seeking relief from the Emergency Food Assistance Program, or TEFAP, were announced Tuesday by the Utah State Board of Education, Child Nutrition Programs and Utah Food Bank.

TEFAP is a federal program that helps low-income Americans by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost.

Households whose income is at or below 185% of the current year Federal Poverty Income Guidelines are eligible to receive donated foods by self-declaration.

Eligibility will be based on total household income not in excess of the State-established income levels found here, and are determined from July 1 through June 30 every year.

Automatic eligibility is given to clients who currently participate in one of the following programs:

  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP);
  • Medicaid;
  • Receive Free or Reduced-Price School Meal benefits; or
  • Have a child enrolled in the Federal Head Start Program.
