Title: The Assessment of Mandatory
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) Employment &Training
(E&T) Programs.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) will conduct a
study Assessment of Mandatory SNAP
E&T Programs to examine program
features and administrative practices of
mandatory State SNAP E&T programs.
Section 17 [7 U.S.C. 2026] (a)(1) of the
Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as
amended, provides general legislative
authority for the planned data
collection. It authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to enter into contracts with
private institutions to undertake
research that will help to improve the
administration and effectiveness of the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) in delivering nutritionrelated benefits.
Need and Use of the Information:
This study will help FNS understand
what data exists on how well mandatory
programs help SNAP participants gain
skills, certificates, and credentials as
well as stable, well-paying jobs. While
the intent of the mandatory E&T
program is to assist SNAP participants
in ‘‘gaining skills, trainings, or
experience that will increase their
ability to obtain regular employment,’’
little is known about whether or how
specific E&T processes and services
affect a participant’s likelihood of
participating or being sanctioned. In
particular, little is known on whether
complex intake or referral processes,
rather than a lack of interest in
participating in E&T, may negatively
impact participation in mandatory
programs.
The findings from this study will
identify lessons learned and best
practices for operating mandatory E&T
programs.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local & Tribal Agencies; Business-notfor-profit and Business for-profit;
Individuals/Households.
Number of Respondents: 207.

I. Abstract
Since its founding, the U.S. Census
Bureau has balanced the demands of a
growing country for information about
its people and economy, with concerns
for respondents’ privacy and the time
and effort it takes respondents to answer
questions. Beginning with the 1810
Census, Congress added questions to
support a range of public concerns and
uses, and over the course of a century,
federal agencies requested to add
questions about agriculture, industry,
and commerce, as well as individuals’
occupation, ancestry, marital status,
disabilities, place of birth and other
topics. In 1940, the U.S. Census Bureau
introduced the long-form census in
order to ask more detailed questions to
only a sample of the public.
In the early 1990s, the demand for
current, nationally consistent data from
a wide variety of users led federal
government policymakers to consider
the feasibility of collecting social,
economic, and housing data
continuously throughout the decade.

The benefits of providing current data,
along with the anticipated decennial
census benefits in cost savings,
planning, improved census coverage,
and more efficient operations, led the
U.S. Census Bureau to plan the
implementation of the continuous
measurement survey, later called the
American Community Survey (ACS).
After years of testing the ACS, which is
the current embodiment of the long
form of the decennial census, the survey
launched in 2005. Each year a sample of
approximately 3.5 million households
and about 200,000 persons living in
group quarters in the mainland United
States and Puerto Rico are selected to
participate in the ACS.
In 2020, the ACS will change the race
and ethnicity questions to match the
2020 Census. This change will make the
ACS consistent with 2020 Census data
on this topic. The ACS will also change
the instruction for reporting babies’ ages
to match the 2020 Census. Ongoing
research suggests the instructions for
reporting infants creates challenges for
some respondents. Cognitive testing
demonstrated the wording for the age
instruction is unclear and confusing to
respondents. Details about all of the
questions planned for the 2020 Census
and the American Community Survey
are available at https://www.census.gov/
library/publications/2018/dec/plannedquestions-2020-acs.html.
The ACS self-response rates in 2010,
a decennial census year, were higher
than usual in the first few months of the
year, but were lower than usual in the
spring and summer months, when the
2010 decennial census was underway.
The increased self-response rates early
in the year were attributed to decennial
census communications while the
decreased rates later in the year were
attributed to respondent confusion, as
respondents had already filled out their
decennial census form and did not
understand that the ACS was a separate
data collection. Prior research suggests
that during a decennial census year,
ACS mail materials such as envelopes
and letters should be revised to
distinguish the ACS from the Census.
For the 2020 data collection year, we are
considering modifying the mail package
contents, Field Representative flyers,
scripts for the Interactive Voice
Recognition system, frequently asked
questions, and the ACS website to better
communicate to respondents that the
ACS is a separate data collection from
the 2020 Census and that respondents
selected for the ACS should complete
both the ACS and the 2020 Census.
