At a recent hearing of the National Commission on Hunger, public human services officials recommended several ways that SNAP could be made even more effective in addressing food insecurity:
- Simplify eligibility and verification rules;
- Improve SNAP’s connection to and interoperability with other human services and health programs;
- eliminate the “cliff” effect that occurs when a beneficiary’s hours or pay increases;
- reduce reliance of face-to-face interviews
- remove participation barriers to elderly and other stable populations
