Abstract	The Agricultural Act of 2014 authorized $200 million for the development, implementation, and evaluation of up to 10 pilot projects to test innovative strategies to reduce dependency on and increase employment among Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants. The 10 States that received grants were California, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Mississippi, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington and began implementing their pilots between January and April 2016. All grantees concluded pilot services by April 2019. The Interim Summary Report presents short-term outcome findings that cover each individual for 12 months after enrollment in the pilots for individuals who enrolled by December 2017. The report also includes findings on the implementation evaluation and cost analysis. The report summarizes findings drawn from interim evaluation reports prepared for each of the 10 pilots. The final evaluation reports will present longer-term (36-month) outcomes that may offer more conclusive evidence about the effectiveness of pilot services. This brief document describes the methods and findings of the Interim Summary Report. [For the full report, see ED620376.] (ERIC).
