Karen Cunnyngham testified before the House Committee on Agriculture’s Nutrition Subcommittee at a public hearing on SNAP household characteristics and patterns of participation. The testimony shared three key resources for policymakers: Mathematica’s new SNAP data visualization, the annual SNAP household characteristics report, and examples of SNAP microsimulation models Mathematica has developed for FNS.
