The Food Stamp participation rate is a ratio of the number of individuals receiving food stamps to the number of individuals
CA MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES eligible to receive food stamps. Federal methodology for determining participation rate does not take into account differences
in program requirements between states, and therefore overestimates those eligible in California by counting SSI recipients

State University, Sacramento to develop a methodology for a more accurate determination of the food stamp participation
rate in Sacramento County. They found that the Sacramento County food stamp participation rate is 67.5%.
