Report: SNAP Healthy Incentives Pilot Project
Posted by U.S. Department of Agriculture on October 13, 2014
A pilot study allowed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to receive more money when they bought better-for-you foods. There was a 26% increase in healthy purchases because of the incentive. You can see the results from the study’s final evaluation. You can also read the entire report for more information on consumption of healthy food, spending, the study’s implementation, and much more.
