Abstract

The National Food Stamp Program Survey (NFSPS) was conducted for the Food and Nutrition Service by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. between June 1996 and January 1997, to obtain information with which to assess how well the Food Stamp Program (FSP) is serving its current and potential clients. Three areas of the FSP structure and operations are of particular interest in the NFSPS: 1. Customer service 2. Access to authorized food retailers 3. Food security and nutrient availability. This report summarizes the findings on food security and nutrient availability. It assesses whether, under the structure of the current FSP, program participants are getting appropriate amounts of food.
