This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans who live at or below the poverty threshold, access to healthy foods at a reasonable price is a challenge that often places a strain on already limited resources and may compel them to make food choices that are contrary to current nutritional guidance. To help alleviate this problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers a number of nutrition assistance programs designed to improve access to healthy foods for low-income individuals and households. The largest of these programs is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly called the Food Stamp Program, which today serves more than 46 million Americans with a program cost in excess of $75 billion annually. The goals of SNAP include raising the level of nutrition among low-income households and maintaining adequate levels of nutrition by increasing the food purchasing power of low-income families. In response to questions about whether there are different ways to define the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a study to examine the feasibility of defining the adequacy of SNAP allotments, specifically: the feasibility of establishing an objective, evidence-based, science-driven definition of the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, as well as other relevant dimensions of adequacy; and data and analyses needed to support an evidence-based assessment of the adequacy of SNAP allotments. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Examining the Evidence to Define Benefit Adequacy reviews the current evidence, including the peer-reviewed published literature and peer-reviewed government reports. Although not given equal weight with peer-reviewed publications, some non-peer-reviewed publications from nongovernmental organizations and stakeholder groups also were considered because they provided additional insight into the behavioral aspects of participation in nutrition assistance programs. In addition to its evidence review, the committee held a data gathering workshop that tapped a range of expertise relevant to its task.

Download or read book SNAP Matters written by Judith Bartfeld and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1963, President Kennedy proposed making permanent a small pilot project called the Food Stamp Program (FSP). By 2013, the program's fiftieth year, more than one in seven Americans received benefits at a cost of nearly $80 billion. Renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in 2008, it currently faces sharp political pressure, but the social science research necessary to guide policy is still nascent. In SNAP Matters, Judith Bartfeld, Craig Gundersen, Timothy M. Smeeding, and James P. Ziliak bring together top scholars to begin asking and answering the questions that matter. For example, what are the antipoverty effects of SNAP? Does SNAP cause obesity? Or does it improve nutrition and health more broadly? To what extent does SNAP work in tandem with other programs, such as school breakfast and lunch? Overall, the volume concludes that SNAP is highly responsive to macroeconomic pressures and is one of the most effective antipoverty programs in the safety net, but the volume also encourages policymakers, students, and researchers to continue examining this major pillar of social assistance in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation in the Food Stamp Program has dropped over the last few years. Because of concerns that states' efforts to reduce their welfare caseloads may have diminished eligible children's participation in the Food Stamp program, this report examines the reasons for the recent drop in Food Stamp participation, & any problems that households with eligible children have experienced in obtaining Food Stamp. This report analyzed the responses to a questionnaire sent to the 50 states & the D.C.; obtained data & reports on Food Stamp participation from the Food & Nutrition Service; & surveyed each of the Food & Nutrition Service's 7 offices, which oversee implementation of the Food Stamp program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A briefing report to the US congressional committees provides an evaluation, conducted by the US General Accounting Office (GAO), of the percentage of AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) state and national households receiving food stamp benefits, and of reasons why such households in some states may not have higher food stamp participation rates. It was found that ca. 83% of all US AFDC households participated in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) in fiscal 1986, with participation rates ranging from ca. 93% (Michigan) to ca. 59% (Virginia). It also was found that such intra-state differences were due to differences in how states count household income to judge program eligibility. Detailed information on national participation rates and on reasons for nonparticipation are included. Ancillary information on the variance among state participation rates and possible reasons for the low participation rate observed for Virginia is appended. Illustrations and copious data also are included.
