This report is part of a series of reports that provide estimates of Food Stamp Program (FSP) participation rates. The participation rate expresses the proportion of those eligible for food stamps who actually apply for and receive benefits. It is a measure of how well the program is reaching its intended population and provides information on which groups of the eligible population participate at higher or lower rates than other groups. It presents trends in participation rates between January 1993 and 1994 and changes in participation rates for different subgroups. It also describes the characteristics of eligible nonparticipants.
