Dear [PARTICIPANT NAME]:

We need your help! You have been picked for a very important study to help make the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) better. SNAP, also called the [INSERT STATE SNAP PROGRAM NAME], helps millions of people buy food every year. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will conduct this study. Your participation will help us to learn about your experiences with SNAP, working, and going to training.

We will send you a VISA gift card as a thank you as a token of our appreciation! The $5 in this letter is yours to keep. If you fill out the survey on the website or call us, we will send you a $40 gift card. If the study team calls you to take the survey, we will send you a $20 gift card.

Everything that you say will be private. We will not share your answers with anyone, and we will not use your name in any reports. Taking the survey will not affect any of your benefits or the benefits anyone else in your household receives.

We need you! You do not have to take the survey, but it would be very helpful if you did. If you have any questions, please call us at: [1-800-XXXX]. For more information about the study team, go to www.mathematica-mpr.com.
