We analyze SNAP participation dynamics in the state of Oregon for the period 2009 to 2013 using an unusually well-linked administrative dataset on individual employment, wages, and participation in SNAP and other social safety net programs. Our results show that (a) downward pressure on caseloads and participation comes from how the program is administered, from the processes of complying with SNAP requirements; (b) most SNAP participants have a significant work history and work effort, typically with low and unstable wages and with periods of unemployment; and (c) substantive improvements in wages do lead to more rapid exits from SNAP.
