OMB is pleased that ERS has made the discussion of measures of food security a matter of public debate by sponsoring the recent conference. OMB would like to see ERS response to the questions raised at the conference about the current methodology, and their plans for addressing those questions. ERS should also continue the analysis of causes of food insecurity among high income respondents. In the next printing of the survey, ERS will make the following changes. Question S8, add at the end, "This amount should not include nonfood items such as pet food, paper products, detergent or cleaning supplies." Question SP4, replace "Does" with "(In MONTH/The last time you got food stamp benefits)".
