DO SNAP WORK REQUIREMENTS WORK?
利用2010-2017年美国社区调查数据，研究SNAP工作要求对无受抚养人健全成年人就业和SNAP参与的影响，发现工作要求提高了就业率，但显著降低了SNAP参与。
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act waived work requirements nationally in 2010 and broadened waiver eligibility in subsequent years for Able‐Bodied Adults without Dependents (ABAWDs) receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. From 2011 to 2017, many states voluntarily imposed work requirements, while other areas became ineligible for waivers because of improved economic conditions. Using data from the American Community Survey from 2010 to 2017, I analyze the influence of work requirements on employment and SNAP participation for ABAWDs. I find that work requirements increased employment for ABAWDs and also significantly decreased SNAP participation.
