The Food Stamp Program Access study examines the relationships between the food stamp participation decisions of eligible households and local food stamp offices and practices that potentially affect access to the program. The purpose of this study is to systematically examine accessibility at the local level using a nationally representative sample.
The study’s three main objectives were to:
- describe the policies and practices in local food stamp offices that may affect FSP
accessibility;
- examine how local policies and practices affect households’ decisions to apply for food stamps and their decisions to continue receiving food stamps;
and
- examine the reasons why some eligible households do not participate in the FSP.
