An Experimental Evaluation of the Impacts of <scp>SNAP</scp> Employment and Training Pilots on Service Receipt, Labor Market Outcomes, and <scp>SNAP</scp> Participation
ABSTRACT This article presents findings from a large, longitudinal randomized evaluation of the effectiveness of 10 SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) pilots that offered new and innovative strategies to increase the earnings and employment of SNAP participants. All the pilots increased the take‐up of employment and training‐related activities and nearly all increased receipt of case management and support services. The pilots increased annual earnings in three states by $800 to $2,000 and increased the rate of employment by 4 to 6percentage points. Findings can help policymakers identify new promising strategies for expanding opportunities and reducing barriers to work.
