Economic Research on the Joint Contribution of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Unemployment Insurance (UI) to the Nation’s Safety Net

JFI is the lead partner of a five state consortium (Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan and Texas) analyzing the interaction of SNAP caseload and recipient household composition dynamics aligned with receipt of UI benefits and participation in UI covered employment. Using linked state administrative records for SNAP, UI wage records and UI benefits, the alignment in time between individuals’ receipt of UI benefits and SNAP benefits is examined, including how much overlap occurs in the receipt of benefits and how long do households receive UI benefits before receiving SNAP benefits.
