摘要 | Programs using means tests to identify low-income households face a trade-off between promoting access and ensuring program integrity. In the case of the National School Lunch Program, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently implemented a pilot program to improve the accuracy of the process of certifying students for free or reduced-price meals. This pilot program required households to provide income documentation with their applications for these benefits. This paper uses a comparison district design to estimate the effects of the up-front income documentation requirement on free/reduced-price certification among ineligible families as well as on access to the program among eligible low-income families. The key finding was that requiring income documentation did not reduce the proportion of ineligible households getting free or reduced-price meals, but it did reduce access to the program among eligible households. |
