使用2003年至2010年期间的详细行政数据，作者对比了佛罗里达州和俄勒冈州截然不同的参与动态，评估了大衰退之前、期间和之后福利的扩大和延长。国家在如何管理补充营养援助计划(SNAP)方面的差异有助于解释SNAP使用的差异。尽管经济衰退导致两个州的需求和SNAP参与率增加，但各州在休会前计划政策以及招收和保留合格参与者的努力方面的差异为俄勒冈州较低的离职率和较长的持续时间提供了一个合理的解释。讨论了这些发现对低收入家庭、政策制定者和未来研究的影响。
Using detailed administrative data for the 2003 to 2010 period, the authors contrast Florida's and Oregon's dramatically different participation dynamics, assessing the expansion and extension of benefits before, during, and after the Great Recession. State differences in how Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has been administered help explain differences in SNAP use. Although the recession led to increased need and SNAP participation in both states, state differences in prerecession program policies and efforts to enroll and retain eligible participants provide a plausible explanation for lower exit rates and longer spell durations in Oregon. Implications of these findings for low income households, policymakers and future research are discussed.
