In 2014, several Ohio counties newly required that households work 30 hours per week (with some exemptions) in order to qualify for SNAP (the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program, or Food Stamps). If the “welfare magnet hypothesis” applies in this circumstance, we would expect to see households disproportionately migrating to counties that retained the work requirement waiver (and thus did not require beneficiaries to work) than to counties that enforce the restriction. Using household tracking data from a marketing company and supplementary data from the American Community Survey, we evaluate the migration patterns of Ohio households both before and after the policy change. While this research is ongoing, initial findings indicate that the SNAP policy change has little to no effect on migration between counties.
