Title: Longitudinal Study of SNAP 

Households AKA The Study of 

Household Insights and Nutritional 

Experiences (SHINE). 

Form Number: N/A. 

OMB Number: 0584–NEW. 

Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Abstract: This is a new information 

collection request. The Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 

provides monthly benefits to lowincome households to reduce food 

insecurity and improve health and wellbeing. SNAP policies and benefit 

calculations change over time in 

response to economic factors, such as 

inflation, high unemployment, and 

changes in Federal budget priorities. To 

understand SNAP’s effectiveness at 

helping participants maintain their 

food-purchasing power following such 

changes, the Food and Nutrition Service 

(FNS) requires accurate and timely data 

about SNAP households. The sample 

must be large enough to produce 

reliable conclusions and detailed 

enough to examine policy changes 

affecting only subpopulations of SNAP 

participants. The Food and Nutrition 

Act of 2008, as amended through Public 

Law 116–94, enacted December 20, 

2019, provides the legislative authority 

for FNS to administer SNAP. Section 17 

of the Act authorizes FNS to conduct 

research to help improve the 

administration and effectiveness of 

SNAP. 

The proposed study—Longitudinal 

Study of SNAP Households AKA The 

Study of Household Insights and 

Nutritional Experiences (SHINE)—will 

conduct a longitudinal survey among a 

nationally representative sample of 

SNAP households. The study will also 

field a dietary recall assessment 

interview among a subset of households. 

These data will enable FNS to conduct 

detailed analyses of SNAP participants’ 

characteristics over time and observe 

how they respond to Federal, State, and 

local policy and economic changes. 

With these data, FNS will be able to 

examine how participating SNAP 

households fared before and after 

potential economic shocks or policy 

changes, reducing reliance on 

comparisons of changes for broad 

groups of participants. 

SHINE overcomes the limitations of 

the data FNS currently uses to examine 

SNAP policies and effects on 

households. FNS’ currently available 

data sources typically lack the detail 

required for in-depth study, do not 

include a representative sample, or do 

not include the same households over 

time. This study addresses these issues 

by collecting key information for a large 

representative sample of SNAP 

households through time, drawn from 

State SNAP administrative data.
