Which statement correctly describes the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)?

• A. Serves only rural populations
• B. Provides cash vouchers to participants
• C. Serves seniors 60 and older under 130% FPL and provides food packages
• D. Is available only in urban areas

Answer: (C)

CSFP is a federal program that provides monthly food packages to low-income seniors, with eligibility limited to adults aged 60 and older whose household income is at or below 130% of the federal poverty level. Instead of cash or vouchers, participants receive a package of nutritious foods delivered through state agencies and local partners, and the program serves both urban and rural areas where enrollment is available. This combination of age threshold, income limit, and direct food packages is what makes this description accurate.
