| Detailed Objective: This project will use linked administrative data files from the State of Florida to address two critical issues: (a) the dynamics of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation among low-income households with workers; and (b) the interactions between receipt of SNAP benefits and State Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits, especially during the current recession. Such analyses can provide information that will enable increased program efficiency by identifying factors affecting households’ decisions to apply for SNAP benefits. |
