Abstract
AbstractData from the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) indicate that one‐fourth of the households eligible for the Food Stamp Program (FSP) do not know they are eligible. Using an FSP participation equation that incorporates a household's perceived FSP eligibility, it was estimated that informational outreach programs directed at these households have the potential of increasing the overall FSP participation rate by a maximum of 18% and benefit payments by 12.6%. These results can be useful in establishing realistic goals for FSP informational outreach programs.
