Abstract

Understanding the impact of interstate migration on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation is crucial due to the potential influence of such migration on the effectiveness of social welfare programs. This study shows that interstate migration decreases the probability of SNAP participation, finding a reduction in SNAP benefits of $462.7 among interstate migrants relative to non-migrants in the subsequent year. These findings suggest that simplifying the recertification process for interstate migrants could serve as an effective policy intervention to address these challenges.
