Download Food Stamp Receipt: Those Who Left Versus Those Who Stayed in a Time of Welfare Reform [PDF - <1.0 MB]

After reform of welfare in 1996 many people continued to need cash assistance, particularly Food Stamps (FS). This paper compares individuals who received FS over the period 1996 – 1999 with those who left the FS rolls. To investigate and understand the relationship concerning continued participation in the FS program data from waves one, four, seven, and ten of the 1996 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) are used to derive descriptive statistics and a logit regression model.
