1 Food and Nutrition Service January 2015 CALCULATING THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) PROGRAM ACCESS INDEX: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR 2013 Introduction The Program Access Index (PAI) is one of the measures the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) uses to reward States for high performance in the administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (also known as the 2002 Farm Bill) directed USDA to establish a number of indicators of effective program performance and to award bonus payments to States with the best and most improved performance. The PAI is designed to indicate the degree to which lowincome people have access to SNAP benefits. The PAI is not, strictly speaking, a measure of participation among people eligible for benefits. For most purposes, the participation rate among people eligible for benefits is a better measure of program performance. 1 FNS uses the povertybased PAI because it is the best measure available in time to meet the law s requirements. The 2002 Farm Bill that authorizes the State performance awards requires payment by the end of the fiscal year following the period of performance by September 2014 for performance during calendar year 2013, for example. The timing of the release of the official poverty statistics each year enables calculation of a PAI in time to meet the law s requirements. There is not enough time to 1 See for example Reaching Those in Need: State Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Participation Rates in 2011 by Karen E. Cunnyngham, available online at df complete the more precise estimates of the number of people eligible for SNAP benefits. Waiting for the more precise estimates is inconsistent with the law and would also delay payments to States. FNS issued a final rule on February 7, 2005, codifying the procedures for calculating and awarding performance bonuses for calendar year 2005 and beyond. For this access measure, FNS uses the American Community Survey (ACS) for poverty count estimates. 2 In addition, the final rule changed the name of the measure to the Program Access Index (PAI). The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to describe the calculation of the PAI in detail. It includes all of the data, adjustments, and calculations used in determining the PAI for every State in Calculating the PAI In general, the PAI is a simple index of the average monthly number of SNAP participants over the course of a calendar year to the number of people with income below 125 percent of the official poverty line in each State. FNS 2 FNS did a comparative analysis of the merits of the American Community (ACS) and Current Population (CPS) surveys and determined that the ACS provided a better basis for the calculation of the Program Access Index beginning with the 2005 high performance bonuses. See Estimating the Number of People in Poverty for the Program Access Index: The American Community Survey vs. the Current Population Survey available online at

2 computes average monthly participation over a calendar year rather than the Federal fiscal year to better align the participation count with the annual poverty measure. FNS makes an adjustment to the counts of participants, the numerator of this index, to better reflect State performance in the administration of SNAP. FNS subtracts out estimates of the number of people who received SNAP disaster assistance. Disaster assistance is approved in limited circumstances and operates under special rules that differ from regular SNAP rules. The adjustment is intended to account for only those disaster assistance recipients who are new to the program not existing participants who are issued replacement benefits. The quality of this adjustment depends in part on the accuracy of data reported by States to FNS on the operations of disaster assistance programs. FNS makes two adjustments to the poverty counts in the denominator of the index. Participants in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) are subtracted from the number of people with income below 125 percent of poverty in each State. Participants in FDPIR would qualify for SNAP, but have opted to take the FDPIR commodity package instead. In addition, poor Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients in California are subtracted from the number of people with income below 125 percent of poverty. By law, SSI recipients in California are ineligible for SNAP because they receive a State-funded cash supplement for food. The number of participants in FDPIR and California SSI recipients offers no information on the effectiveness of State SNAP agency operations. FNS awards performance bonuses to the four States with the highest PAI and to the four States with the most improved PAI, provided that a State is eligible to receive such a bonus. A State agency is not eligible for a bonus payment in any fiscal year for which it has a liability amount as a result of an excessive payment error rate in the same year. If a State qualifies under both the best and most improved criteria, it is awarded the bonus for most improved, and the State with the next highest PAI is awarded a bonus for best performance. Step-by-Step Guide The following provides a step-by-step description of the calculation of the PAI, using the calculation of the 2013 PAI for Kansas as an example. Calculations are made using unrounded numbers. The column references in the following example, along with the calculations for all States, can be found in the accompanying table: SNAP Program Access Index Calculation: The example below may contain discrepancies due to rounding. Description Step 1: Determine number of SNAP participants (CY 2013) The number of annual SNAP participants is the sum of the monthly counts from January to December The monthly counts are extracted from the Food and Nutrition Service National Data Bank and displayed in the SNAP Participants table. The annual total is calculated in the last column of SNAP Participants, carried into Column B of PAI Calculation. Example (Kansas) Column B: 3,791,309

3 Step 2: Determine number of FDPIR participants (CY 2013) The number of annual FDPIR participants is the sum of the monthly counts from January to December The monthly counts are extracted from the Food and Nutrition Service National Data Bank and displayed in the FDPIR Participants table. The annual total is calculated in the last column of FDPIR Participants, and carried into Column C of PAI Calculation. Column C: 5,255 Step 3: Determine number of disaster assistance participants (CY 2013) The number of disaster assistance participants is calculated in the table: Disaster Assistance State and disaster specific adjustments are made to reflect the disaster policy in effect. For disasters that lasted more than a month, the reduction in participation was adjusted to reflect that. The annual total for all States is displayed in Column I of Disaster Assistance, and carried into Column D of PAI Calculation. Column D: 0 Step 4: Calculate adjusted number of annual participants (CY 2013) The adjusted annual number of participants is the annual number of SNAP participants (Column B) minus the number of disaster assistance recipients (Column D). Step 5: Calculate adjusted average monthly participants (CY 2013) The adjusted monthly average number of participants is equal to the annual number (Column E) divided by 12. Step 6: Determine the number of individuals with income below 125 percent of poverty Estimates of the number of people with income below 125 percent of poverty are published annually by the Bureau of the Census and are available online via the American FactFinder Web site ( The 2013 ACS estimates are displayed in Column G. Column E: 3,791,309-0 = 3,791,309 Column F: 3,791, = 315,942 Column G: 511,665 Step 7: Calculate adjustment for SSI recipients in California Column H: This adjustment is based on the number of SSI recipients among the population with income below 125 percent of the official poverty threshold in California. This statistic is provided to us directly from the Census Bureau. N/A Step 8: Calculate monthly FDPIR participants (CY 2013) The monthly average number of FDPIR participants is equal to the annual number of FDPIR participants (Column C) divided by 12. Column I: 5, = 438

4 Step 9: poverty Calculate adjusted number of people with income below 125 percent of The adjusted number of people with income below 125% of poverty is equal to the official counts of persons below 125% of poverty (Column G) minus the Monthly FDPIR Participants (Column I). For California, the adjusted number of people in poverty (Column J) is equal to the official counts of persons below 125% of poverty (Column G) minus the Monthly FDPIR Participants (Column I) minus the SSI adjustment (Column H). The SSI adjustment is not applied in any other State. Column J: 511, = 511,227 Step 10: Calculate the Program Access Index for 2013 The final PAI is an index of the adjusted count of participants to the adjusted estimate of persons living below 125% of the official poverty line (Column F) divided by the adjusted poverty count (Column J). Column K: 315, ,227 =.618 Step 11: Rank Order States by Program Access Index Column L: State rankings are determined in descending order, from highest to lowest. 44 Step 12: Determine the Program Access Index for 2012 The 2012 PAI was calculated in the same fashion, using prior year data. Column M: Step 13: Calculate the difference between 2013 and 2012 PAIs Column N: The difference is equal to the 2013 PAI (Column K) minus the 2012 PAI (Column M). This provides the percentage point difference between 2013 and A positive difference indicates improvement; a negative difference indicates a reduction = Step 14: Rank Order States by Improvement -- the difference in 2013 and 2012 PAIs State rankings are determined in descending order, from highest to lowest. Column O: 11 USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
