Subject: [Meeting Request!] Survey of State SNAP agencies about exemptions from work requirements and good cause

Dear [Respondent Name],

We are reaching out about a survey being conducted as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service’s (FNS) research study to better understand how States determine whether individuals are exempted from work requirements or have good cause for not meeting work requirements due to a physical or mental limitation. This survey will help provide accurate and useful insights to help FNS assess States’ needs for technical assistance and identify lessons learned to share across all State SNAP agencies.



We have already received responses from almost all other State SNAP agencies, and the Survey officially closed on February 1st. FNS’s goal is to obtain a response from every State. To ensure your state is represented, we hope to schedule a Zoom call with you to walk through this survey and record your answers. We envision the survey taking approximately 60 minutes to conduct, and we are available to meet on these dates/times:

    • Date: Times

    • Date: Times

Alternatively, if you would like to complete the survey independently, please visit the link below to take the survey or share it with another staff person in your agency who may be better able to answer questions on your State’s processes for determining physical or mental limitations. This survey should take no more than 60 minutes to complete. We ask that you complete the survey within a week.

If you need additional information about the purpose of the study, please contact Amanda Wyant at [email protected]. If you have questions about or need assistance with the web survey, call 703-838-2724 or email us at [email protected].

Best,

[NAME]
