This information
collection is approved through 12-92 under the following condition:
absent a randomize control or a baseline, this survey does not
measure the impact of the simplified application/ standardized
benefit. This is only a suggestive, exploratory study. Any FNS
report on the findings of this survey, must qualify the result
accordingly. FNS will ensure that when administering the study,
questions 1.04, 1.05 are open-ended, without prompting. FNS will
also add a response to 1.04 which indicates that the individual did
not perceive his\her need to be great enough to go on food stamps.
Correspondingly, FNS will add a response to 1.05 which indicates
that their economic situation is more critical now.
