ABSTRACT

Why households eligible for SNAP do not participate has perplexed scholars. Explanations exist, but few explore whether SNAP nonparticipation coincides with private food assistance. Applying an innovative empirical strategy to SIPP data, we investigate the link between SNAP nonparticipation and private food assistance among vulnerable households with children. We find that SNAP nonparticipation is greater when households are also less likely to receive private food assistance. This finding suggests private food assistance complements SNAP participation rather than acts as a substitute. We frame this finding in terms of the welfare stigma and transactional costs literature.

解释 SNAP 在有受抚养子女的粮食不安全贫困和近贫困家庭中的不参与

摘要

为什么有资格获得 SNAP 的家庭不参与让学者们感到困惑。存在解释,但很少有人探讨 SNAP 不参与是否与私人粮食援助一致。我们将创新的实证策略应用于 SIPP 数据,调查了有孩子的弱势家庭中 SNAP 不参与与私人粮食援助之间的联系。我们发现,当家庭也不太可能获得私人粮食援助时,SNAP 的不参与度更高。这一发现表明,私人粮食援助是对 SNAP 参与的补充,而不是作为替代品。我们根据福利污名和交易成本文献来构建这一发现。
