Evaluation of the Healthy Incentives Pilot (HIP) - Final Report
Report
June 15, 2015
The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 authorized funds for pilot projects to determine if financial incentives provided at the point of sale to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants would increase their consumption of fruits, vegetables, and other healthful foods. On the basis of this legislative authority, USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) designed the Healthy Incentives Pilot (HIP) to investigate the impact of making fruits and vegetables more affordable for SNAP participants.
