SUBJECT: Justification for changes to text messages sent in Minnesota Hennepin intervention for OMB Control No: 0584-0680 “Rapid Cycle Evaluation of Operational Improvements in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment & Training (E&T) Programs”.



The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is requesting a non-substantive change to the study of Rapid Cycle Evaluation of Operational Improvements in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment & Training (E&T) Programs, approved under OMB Control No. 0584-0680; expiration date of March 31, 2026. FNS made non-substantive edits to the recruitment materials that will be sent to recruit survey participants for the study.


The previous OMB-approved recruitment materials say that Mathematica will send participants a $30 Visa gift card. We would like to offer a $30 Mastercard gift card rather than Visa. Mastercard offers more delivery options (such as email) for respondents, which allows us to be more responsive to how they’d like to receive their incentive. In the attached materials, “Visa giftcard” has been changed to “Mastercard giftcard”. Additionally, there is one instance in Appendix E5.1 where “mail” has been changed to “send”, to be inclusive of multiple delivery options.


If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact Jamia Franklin, FNS Information Collection Clearance Officer for the Food and Nutrition Service, Planning & Regulatory Affairs Office at (703) 305-2403.

  • Appendix E5.2 – Participant Survey Initial Email
