The purpose of the study is to gather
direct input from elders 60+ about their awareness of SNAP,
perceptions of the program, and experiences applying for and
receiving SNAP benefits. This study will provide FNS with a better
understanding of the barriers to serving elderly populations in the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The Study is
intended to increase access to SNAP among the elderly population in
the selected States. This help us to interpret the effects or lack
thereof observed in the Study, draw lessons on how aspects of the
interventions may be improved, and assess whether the
interventions, if implemented in other locations or contexts, might
yield similar outcomes.
