How Much Can Informational Outreach Programs Increase Food Stamp Program Participation?
利用PSID数据发现，四分之一的合格家庭不知道自身符合食品券计划资格；信息外展项目最多可将总体参与率提高18%，福利支付提高12.6%，为设定项目目标提供参考。
Abstract Data from the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) indicate that one‐fourth of the households eligible for the Food Stamp Program (FSP) do not know they are eligible. Using an FSP participation equation that incorporates a household's perceived FSP eligibility, it was estimated that informational outreach programs directed at these households have the potential of increasing the overall FSP participation rate by a maximum of 18% and benefit payments by 12.6%. These results can be useful in establishing realistic goals for FSP informational outreach programs.
