Dear [Salutation, NAME]:

About six months ago, you did a survey for Mathematica Policy Research and the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The survey was to help us learn about some ways in which the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) affected families.

Please help us once again. We would like you to do another short survey on the phone, so we can see how your family is doing now. When you complete this survey, we will send you another $20 gift card from [store] to thank you for your time. All answers you give are confidential. Your participation is voluntary, and will not affect any government assistance you may be receiving.

The last time we called you on [xxx-xxx-xxxx]. If that is not the right number to reach you now, please call our toll-free number at 1-8xx-xxx-xxxx to give us your new phone number. You may also use this number if you have any questions about the study. Please be sure to ask for the SNAP project team when you call.

Thank you for helping with this important study. We look forward to speaking with you again soon.

Sincerely,

Dawn Nelson

Survey Director
