Book Description
Abstract: A report to the US Congress on the confidence internal (CI) of state error rates for food stamp overissuances, underissuances, and improper denials/terminations concluded that state penalty sanctions for 1983 could range from approximately $0.7-$15.7 million, depending on the point at which the CI was used to calculate the state sanction. Using the CI midpoint (as is the convention of USDA's Food and Nutrition Service), the 1983 state sanctions would total about $6.7 million. The study also revealed a decline in error rates for overissuances between 1981-83 with little change in underissuances and improper denials/terminations. The procedures used to sample and estimate the error rates and their CI, and a summation of the USDA-official and state-reported error rates are included.
