APPENDIX B4.a
DENIED APPLICANT SURVEY VERSION A (ADULT) - ENGLISH
The Denied Applicant Survey will be administered by trained Field Interviewers (FIs). After FNS approves the final draft, the research team will begin implementing the survey in a Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) format programmed for use on study laptops. This paper version approximates the layout of the CAPI questionnaire and includes notes indicating how the CAPI system will automatically route the FI to the appropriate questions or data entry forms, or performs specified calculations (these notes appear in the paper version in RED, CAPITALIZED text but will not appear on-screen in the CAPI version). In addition, the CAPI version will be programmed to pre-populate certain data about each applicant sampled for the Denied Applicant Survey; these data elements appear in Table 2 on the next page.
The NSWP-III version of the Denied Applicant Survey is similar in many aspects to the Certification Survey: it includes items needed to make an independent assessment of an applicant’s eligibility under four criteria: proof of identity; proof of residency; categorical eligibility; and income eligibility. However, the Denied Applicant Survey differs substantially from the version used in NSWP-II. The version fielded in NSWP-II was a brief telephone survey that relied heavily on self-report, and no documentation. For example, respondents were asked whether they knew the reason WIC had denied their application and, if so, whether they agreed with WIC’s determination of their ineligibility.
The survey is organized into the following modules:
Table 1: Denied Applicant Survey Modules |
|
Name |
Purpose |
|
Document proof of identity |
|
Document proof of residency |
|
For Infant or Child applicants, establish participant category |
|
Determine the size of the applicant’s family economic unit ; Collect documentation of income sources |
|
Thank respondent and conclude survey |
FIs will administer the five numbered modules in order.
Text that FIs read aloud (questions, response options where indicated) appear in regular text, while on-screen instructions to FIs appear in CAPITALIZED TEXT.

INTRO: Hi. Thanks for agreeing to do this survey. As you know, we are conducting this survey among people who were turned down for WIC benefits so that we can see if the agency is following correct procedures. We will keep your responses private to the extent allowed by law. Because the interview is private, it cannot change the decision made by WIC. However, if you think that the local WIC agency may have made a mistake, or if your circumstances have changed since you last applied, you may want to apply for WIC benefits again. After we finish, I will give you a $25 Visa debit card to thank you for your participation.
Before we start, we need to review this form together. It tells you about your rights as a study participant. It tells you how we will protect your privacy and how we will use your answers.
READ INFORMED CONSENT STATEMENT AND GET SIGNED CONSENT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0584-XXXX. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 39 minutes (0.65 hours) per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services, Office of Policy Support, 3101 Park Center Drive, Room 1014, Alexandria, VA 22302, ATTN: PRA (0584-xxxx*).

INCOME SOURCES
“Now I’m going to ask you about the income you and other members of your family were receiving when you applied for WIC on [APP_DATE]. We want to assure you that we will protect your privacy. We will not include information that identifies you or your family in study reports. We will combine the income we collect with information from other people in this study from across the U.S. We won’t share personal information about you with your local WIC agency, other benefit programs, your landlord, bank, employer, or people in your community.”

“Now I’ll start by asking about your sources of income, and then I’ll ask about sources of income for other members of your family. For each type of income, I may ask to see records or documents showing the dates you received that income and the amount you received. It’s important that we focus on income you or your family members were receiving at the time you applied for WIC in [MONTH_OF_APP_DATE].”
GO TO Q9A. CAPI WILL DISPLAY QUESTIONS Q9A-Q9E FOR ALL INCOME SOURCES FOR EACH PERSON IN THE FAMILY UNIT WITH SHARED FINANCES WHO IS AGED 15 OR OLDER (CALLED “ADULT FAMILY MEMBER”).
NOTE FOR REVIEWERS:
On the pages that follow, different types of “proof of income documents” are listed for each income type. The preferred documents appear in underlined text: these documents are those that best meet guidance provided by WIC policy memoranda (#99-4, #2013-3). If a respondent cannot present one of the “preferred” documents, additional acceptable types of proof appear in light gray (non-underlined) text. Each income type also includes an “other” option, where a Field Interviewer may describe another type of document presented as evidence of the income amount reported, and an option to indicate that no documents were available. For each income type, even if documentation is not available, the FI will ask the respondent to report the amount and frequency of that income.

Privacy Act Statement
Authority: Code of Federal Regulations. §215.11 requires State and local WIC agency directors to cooperate in the conduct of studies and evaluations.
Purpose: Information is collected primarily for use by the Food and Nutrition Service in the administration and evaluation of Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants and Children.
Routine Use: FNS published a system of record notice (SORN) titled FNS-8 USDA/FNS Studies and Reports in the Federal Register on April 25, 1991, volume 56, pages 19078-19080, that discusses the terms of protections that will be provided to respondents.
Disclosure: Your participation in this survey is voluntary.
1 Although local agencies may shorten or extend the certification period of a breastfeeding woman up to 30 days if there is difficulty scheduling a certification appointment, this is within the local agency’s discretion. The Denied Applicant Survey analysis will not attempt to determine whether a local agency should have exercised this discretion.
2 Although WIC policy guidance indicates that agencies should determine whether or not separate family economic units have “adequate income” to “sustain the economic unit” and that the “actual living and support costs for the economic unit in that environment must be considered,” the guidance does not indicate how agencies should determine these “actual living and support costs” or what threshold relative to these costs would suffice as “adequate.” Because these judgments are inherently subjective, the NSWP-III cannot independently confirm or disconfirm an independent judgment made by staff at a local WIC agency. If a Participant indicates that a resident of the household maintains separate finances, the NSWP-III will treat those persons as economic unit(s) separate from the participant’s economic unit.
3 See Table 3 for specific military pay codes and proposed exclusions. WIC regulations allow States to choose whether or not to exclude the military Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and Cost-of-living allowance for service members stationed outside the contiguous United States (OCONUS COLA) (See 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(A). WIC regulations require States to exclude from income payments to service members from the Family Supplemental Subsistence Act (FSSA) and combat pay. In the context of military pay, WIC Policy Memorandum 2013-3 indicated that “in-kind benefits, such as military on-base housing or other subsidized housing, medical and dental benefits are services that do not meet the definition of ‘income’ and may not be considered in income eligibility determinations.”
4 WIC regulations include income exclusions for multiple types of payments to members of American Indian Tribes from various treaties, agreements or settlements with the U.S. government (see 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 21, 24-32)).
5 WIC regulations include income exclusions for multiple forms of housing assistance to low income individuals (see 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(1, 22-23)
6 WIC regulations include income exclusions for payments, or the value of, child care under the Social Security Act or the Child Care and Development Block Grant programs (see 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(17-19)
7 WIC regulations include income exclusions for the value of food assistance from the National School Lunch Program, the Child Nutrition Act or the Food and Nutrition Act (see 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(8).
8 WIC regulations include income exclusions for payments under the Job Training Partnership Act, replaced by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA). See 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(5).
9 WIC regulations exclude payments to domestic volunteers (VISTA is now part of AmeriCorps). See 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(2)
10 WIC regulations exclude income from assistance received under the Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Amendments of 1989, now the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. See 246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(13)
11 WIC regulations exclude income from assistance to property owners under the National Flood Insurance Program (246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(34).
12 WIC regulations exclude income to certain veterans from the Agent Orange Compensation Exclusion Act ((246.7(2)(d)(iv)(D)(15))
13 WIC regulations exclude loans (246.7(2)(d)(iv)(C)).
