*Report Compares EITC and Food Stamp Program Participation
A new report by the Urban Institute illustrates the important relationship between the EITC and Food Stamp Program in supporting low-income families. The report, “Relationship between EITC and Food Stamp Program (FSP) Participation among Households with Children,” pays specific attention to the negative impact of EITC on FSP participation. The study found that while EITC payments did not reduce the potential size of a household’s food stamp allotment under FSP rules, they did add to the household’s resources. Therefore the EITC has the potential to reduce the household’s willingness to participate in the FSP.
