A descriptive case study, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data, will be implemented to address these objectives. The study will rely on extant data to describe FSP performance before and after the State’s modernization initiative with respect to participation rates, payment accuracy, administrative costs and other outcomes. Data will also be obtained through interviews with local, regional and state-level staff as well as community partners; and include discussion groups with food stamp participants and eligible nonparticipants.

Interview and focus group questions will be kept as simple and respondentfriendly as possible. Responses to all questions will be voluntary. The contractor will take the following steps to treat the data provided in a confidential manner: (1) No data will be released in a form that identifies individual respondents by name and (2) information collected through interviews will be combined across other respondents in the same category and reported only in aggregate form. Respondents will be notified of these confidentiality measures during data collection.
