Excerpt Text: NWA applauds the intent of strengthening state agency staffing standards to support
the WIC Food Delivery Coordinator and WIC Customer Service Coordinator positions. NWA agrees
that state agency responsibilities have shifted to encompass greater expertise in managing
technologies related to food delivery and participant-facing activities. Few state WIC agencies are
currently positioned to either designate current staff or quickly hire new staff to serve in these roles.
Without additional funding, NWA is not confident that state WIC agencies would be able to satisfy
this regulatory requirement. NWA urges USDA to increase Nutrition Services & Administration
funding to account for these new staffing positions.
