The video must cover topics such as the health benefits of nutritious foods, recommended food amounts, healthy shopping tips, physical activity benefits, and breastfeeding tips. Recipients of benefits through programs like TANF, SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and CHIP can view the video in agency offices or on the agency's website.
