Dear James Mabli, PhD,
The protocol Rapid Cycle Evaluation of Operational Improvements in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment

human subjects’ protection protocols, as stated in the materials submitted, received research ethics review approval on 06/15/2022 in accordance
with the requirements of the US Code of Federal Regulations for the Protection of Human Subjects (45CFR46 & 45CFR46.110) and were
expedited by (7) Research on individual or group characteristics or behavior.
You may rely on this IRB for review and continuing ethical oversight of this study. You and your project staff remain responsible for ensuring
compliance with HML IRB’s determinations. Those responsibilities include, but are not limited to: 1) ensuring prompt reporting to HML IRB of
proposed changes in this study’s design, subject risks, informed consent, or other human protection protocols; 2) investigators will conduct the
research activity in accordance with the terms of the IRB approval until any proposed changes have been reviewed and approved by the IRB,
except when necessary to mitigate hazards to subjects; 3) and to promptly report any unanticipated problems involving risks to subjects or others
in the course of this study.
The approval of your study is valid through 06/14/2023, by which time you must submit an annual check-in report either closing the study or
requesting permission to continue for another year. Please submit your report by 05/31/2023 so that the IRB has time to review and approve your
