Do you currently receive benefits in Maryland, D.C., or Virginia from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as the Food Supplement Program in Maryland?

Are you between the ages of 18 and 69 and NOT receiving disability benefits?

This study is sponsored by the US Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service. On behalf of the Food and Nutrition Service, Westat, a social science research organization located at 1600 Research Blvd., in Rockville, Maryland, is seeking volunteers to participate in a 60-minute interview about SNAP participation and work. As part of the interview, you’ll be asked to complete a survey and answer questions about the survey. Your responses will be kept private, except as otherwise required by law. Your input will help to identify ways to improve the survey.

Participation in this study is voluntary. You can skip any survey or interview question and stop the interview at any time. Stopping the interview or choosing not to participate will have no impact on your SNAP benefits.

The interview will occur during the weeks of March 4^th and March 11^th in Rockville, MD. You will receive $40 in cash for an in-person interview to offset any costs such as childcare or traveling that you may have incurred by your participation.
