Survey Thank You Email

Dear [SNAP State Director name (or designated point of contact)],

Thank you for completing the survey for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) study: Understanding Risk Assessment in SNAP Payment Accuracy study (SNAP RA study). Your responses will help inform FNS about the ways State agencies use case-profiling tools to estimate the risk of payment errors. We really appreciate the time you took to respond to the survey and the valuable input you provided.

[For States that have a current risk assessment tool] Our study team will review your responses to the survey and may reach out for additional information on your risk assessment tool.

[For States that submit their survey prior to case study selection] As noted in the initial notification letter you received from FNS, the study includes a followup interview with staff in six State agencies. If your State agency is selected for followup interviews, we will contact you in the next [X] weeks.

Once again, thank you for your participation in this study.

Sincerely,

SNAP RA Study Team

This information is being collected to provide the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) with key information on case-profiling tools used by SNAP State agencies.
