Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses the request for information on the progress made by states in implementing electronic benefit transfer (EBT) systems for delivering benefits in the Food Stamp Program. In fiscal year 2001, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provided about $15.5 billion in food stamp benefits to a total of about 17.3 million recipients. Until the mid- 1990s, most recipients used benefits provided in the form of paper coupons to purchase allowable food, but currenfly about 80 percent of all benefits are provided electronically. Recipients receiving their benefits electronically use cards, much like debit cards, to pay for their groceries at the checkout counter, and the benefits used are deducted from the recipients' monthly allocation. This report determines (1) the status of states' efforts to implement statewide EBT systems and to make them interoperable and portable, (2) any barriers impeding nationwide implementation of EBT systems, and (3) any strategies that USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) or the states have used to overcome barriers to EBT implementation. Actions were examined by taking the FNS and the 53 jurtsdictious-the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Island that are required to implement EBT systems to deliver food stamp benefits. Work was conducted from August 2001 through December 2001 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

Book excerpt: For many Americans who live at or below the poverty threshold, access to healthy foods at a reasonable price is a challenge that often places a strain on already limited resources and may compel them to make food choices that are contrary to current nutritional guidance. To help alleviate this problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers a number of nutrition assistance programs designed to improve access to healthy foods for low-income individuals and households. The largest of these programs is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly called the Food Stamp Program, which today serves more than 46 million Americans with a program cost in excess of $75 billion annually. The goals of SNAP include raising the level of nutrition among low-income households and maintaining adequate levels of nutrition by increasing the food purchasing power of low-income families. In response to questions about whether there are different ways to define the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a study to examine the feasibility of defining the adequacy of SNAP allotments, specifically: the feasibility of establishing an objective, evidence-based, science-driven definition of the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, as well as other relevant dimensions of adequacy; and data and analyses needed to support an evidence-based assessment of the adequacy of SNAP allotments. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Examining the Evidence to Define Benefit Adequacy reviews the current evidence, including the peer-reviewed published literature and peer-reviewed government reports. Although not given equal weight with peer-reviewed publications, some non-peer-reviewed publications from nongovernmental organizations and stakeholder groups also were considered because they provided additional insight into the behavioral aspects of participation in nutrition assistance programs. In addition to its evidence review, the committee held a data gathering workshop that tapped a range of expertise relevant to its task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The characteristics, potential impacts, and feasibility of an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) system are evaluated and discussed for food stamp program managers and operators and for other federal and state agencies. The EBT system would replace paper food stamp coupons with electronic transmission as the medium of exchange in the distribution of benefits to qualified food stamp program participants. Electronic transmission transactions can be transmitted from central files over a communications network linking the central file to retail food stores, or they can be generated by program participants using a specially issued plastic card which could be inserted into special terminals at the food store. Possible benefits of the EBT system include a notable reduction in fraud and abuse, a streamlining of the delivery system, reduction of administrative error, and reduced program operating costs. (wz).
