SNAP Work Requirements Reversal and Program Enrollment
From the paper: "While work requirements in SNAP were associated with immediate coverage losses, removing work requirements was not associated with a change in enrollment. The enrollment patterns were similar in towns with and without a policy reversal. One potential explanation is that households automatically lost coverage when work requirements were imposed via procedural terminations but needed to be aware of a policy that eliminated work requirements and required a manual process of reapplying."
