Summary "This book is based on analyses of SNAP and UI program benefit receipt around the time of the Great Recession in six states-Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. The introductory chapter proceeds with brief overviews of the UI and SNAP programs and an outline of the way eligibility rules permit the programs to interact. It continues with a general description of the data available for research and the national context for our state studies. Next, there is a description of the data available for the separate studies, along with contrasts drawn between these various data, followed by a graphical review of the extent of SNAP and UI program use and interaction in the study states. Finally, the authors present important results from each of the six state studies and offer some summary comments"-- Provided by publisher
The contributors in this book use administrative data from six states from before, during, and after the Great Recession to gauge the degree to which Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) and Unemployment Insurance (UI) interacted. They also recommend ways that the program policies could be altered to better serve those suffering hardship as a result of future economic downturns
