    Report To The Congress


    OF THE UNITED STATES



    Effect Of The Department Of Labor's

    Resource Allocation Formula On Efforts

    To Place Food Stamp Recipients In Jobs

0 (A Supplement To Comptroller General's

    Report CED-78-60 April 24,1978)

    Congressman Paul Findley asked that GAO
    prepare this supplement to its 1978 report on
    food stamp work requirements. Labor has
    used its formula to allocate about one-third of
    the $1 billion in Federal funds provided to
    State employment service agencies annually.
    A new allocation system is being developed
    for use starting in fiscal year 1980.

    The formula's effect on State agencies' efforts
    to place food stamp recipients in jobs is not
    clear. However, several factors, including no
    explicit incentive for placing these recipients,
    could discourage such efforts, The Congress
    and the executive branch will need to decide
    on a special preference for food stamp re-
    cipients.

    Labor gets $28 million a year from the Depart-
    ment of Agriculture for food stamp work re-
    gistration activities, but the services these
    funds are to cover are not clearly defined. The
    Office of Management and Budget should
    help clarify this matter.                             i
