Abstract

The impending expiration of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 in September 1981, provides a forum for debate regarding the operation and funding of the Food Stamp Program. In the past, a frequent proposal considered in Congress has been the adoption of a categorical or block grant approach to food awsistance programs. This report provides an analysis of changes in benefits and participation under conversion to State administration of a federally funded food stamp program.
