Examining the Growth of the Zero-Income SNAP Caseload: Characteristics, Circumstances, and Dynamics of Zero-Income SNAP Households

Volume I: Cross-Sectional, Longitudinal, and Policy Analysis Findings

This report examined the growth of the zero-income Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) caseload, including characteristics, circumstances, and dynamics of SNAP households with zero income. Data from five waves of the Survey of Income and Program Participation were used to conduct (1) repeated cross-sectional analysis of the characteristics of zero-income SNAP households as compared with other SNAP and non-SNAP households, (2) longitudinal analysis of the dynamics of zero-income status and SNAP participation, and (3) a policy analysis to assess the relationship between zero-income SNAP caseload growth and economic conditions and policy changes.
