Promising Practices
Profiles of Promising Practices that Result in Increased
Participation or Improved Access to the Food Stamp Program
FNS is compiling information on States’ “promising practices” that
improve access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assisatnce Program (SNAP).
Examples of promising practices include changes to a State agency’s
administration of SNAP that make applying for benefits easier,
implementation of a toll-free hotline, or production of an activity
sheet to that will keep children occupied in the waiting room. FNS is
profiling examples on this web site with the hope that they will inspire
discussion or changes in procedures that result in increased
participation in or improved access to SNAP.
If a State agency or Regional office becomes aware of a promising
practice that it would like to share, please fill out the promising
practice form (see link below), providing as much information as
possible, and submit it to
Moira.Johnston@fns.usda.gov. Please note that examples of promising
practices that we are looking for differ from outreach activities in
that they focus on administrative procedures that improve access to SNAP
rather than on outreach activities that increase participation in SNAP.
If you have any questions or need additional information on promising
practices, please contact Moira Johnston at 703-305-2515. For
information on outreach activities, please contact Laura Griffin at
703-605-4399.
