Summary

The 2010 Child Nutrition Reauthorization provided funding to test innovative strategies to end childhood hunger and food insecurity. Demonstration projects were funded in Chickasaw Nation, Kentucky, Navajo Nation, Nevada, and Virginia. This study focuses on Kentucky.

Households in the treatment group received an extra monthly SNAP benefit amount through two new intervention-related deductions to the SNAP benefit formula: (1) a fixed deduction, depending on county of residence, for transportation costs for six round trips to the grocery store per month; and (2) an earnings deduction equal to 10 percent of earned income for households with at least one employed household member. Households in the control group continued to receive their regular monthly SNAP benefit amounts.
