【 摘 要 】

A key aspect of SNAP is the extent to which it reaches its target population-the rate of participation among people who are eligible for SNAP benefits. This report estimates an annual SNAP participation rate, which counts the number of people who participated at some time during the year as a share of people who were eligible at some time during the year.
