The waiver authority of the Secretary under subsection (b) of this section shall extend to all contracts and grants under this section. (2) The Secretary may, on application, permit not more than two State agencies to establish procedures that allow households whose monthly supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits do not exceed $20, at their option, to receive, in lieu of their supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits for the initial period under section 2017 of this title and their regular allotment in following months, and at intervals of up to 3 months thereafter, aggregate allotments not to exceed $60 and covering not more than 3 months’ benefits. The allotments shall be provided in accordance with paragraphs (3) and (9) of section 2020(e) of this title (except that no household shall begin to receive combined allotments under this section until it has complied with all applicable verification requirements of section 2020(e)(3) of this title) and (with respect to the first aggregate allotment so issued) within 40 days of the last benefit issuance. (b) Pilot projects (1) (A) The Secretary may conduct on a trial basis, in one or more areas of the United States, pilot or experimental projects designed to test program changes that might increase the efficiency of the supplemental nutrition assistance program and improve the delivery of supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits to eligible households, and may waive any requirement of this chapter to the extent necessary for the project to be conducted. (B) Project requirements.— (i) Program goal.— The Secretary may not conduct a project under subparagraph (A) unless— (I) the project is consistent with the goal of the supplemental nutrition assistance program of providing food assistance to raise levels of nutrition among low-income individuals; and (II) the project includes an evaluation to determine the effects of the project. (ii) Permissible projects.— The Secretary may conduct a project under subparagraph (A) to— (I) improve program administration; (II) increase the self-sufficiency of supplemental nutrition assistance program recipients; (III) test innovative welfare reform strategies; or (IV) allow greater conformity with the rules of other programs than would be allowed but for this paragraph. (iii) Restrictions on permissible projects.— If the Secretary finds that a project under subparagraph (A) would reduce benefits by more than 20 percent for more than 5 percent of households in the area subject to the project (not including any household whose benefits are reduced due to a failure to comply with work or other conduct requirements), the project— (I) may not include more than 15 percent of the number of households in the State receiving supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits; and (II) shall continue for not more than 5 years after the date of implementation, unless the Secretary approves an extension requested by the State agency at any time. (iv) Impermissible projects.— The Secretary may not conduct a project under subparagraph (A) that— (I) involves the payment of the value of an allotment in the form of cash or otherwise providing benefits in a form not restricted to the purchase of food, unless the project was approved prior to August 22, 1996 ;(II) has the effect of substantially transferring funds made available under this chapter to services or benefits provided primarily through another public assistance program, or using the funds for any purpose other than the purchase of food, program administration, or an employment or training program; (III) is inconsistent with— (aa) paragraphs (4) and (5) of section 2012(n) markets by participating households through the electronic redemption of supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits at farmers’ markets; (C) provide incentives to authorized supplemental nutrition assistance program retailers to increase the availability of healthy foods to participating households; (D) subject authorized supplemental nutrition assistance program retailers to stricter retailer requirements with respect to carrying and stocking healthful foods; (E) provide incentives at the point of purchase to encourage households participating in the supplemental nutrition assistance program to purchase fruits, vegetables, or other healthful foods; or (F) provide to participating households integrated communication and education programs, including the provision of funding for a portion of a school-based nutrition coordinator to implement a broad nutrition action plan and parent nutrition education programs in elementary schools, separately or in combination with pilot projects carried out under subparagraphs (A) through (E). (4) Evaluation and reporting (A) Evaluation (i) Independent evaluation (I) In general The Secretary shall provide for an independent evaluation of projects selected under this subsection that measures the impact of the pilot program on health and nutrition as described in paragraph (1).
(II) Requirement The independent evaluation under subclause (I) shall use rigorous methodologies, particularly random assignment or other methods that are capable of producing scientifically valid information regarding which activities are effective.
(ii) Costs The Secretary may use funds provided to carry out this section to pay costs associated with monitoring and evaluating each pilot project.
(B) Reporting Not later than 90 days after the last day of fiscal year 2009 and each fiscal year thereafter until the completion of the last evaluation under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate a report that includes a description of— (i) the status of each pilot project; (ii) the results of the evaluation completed during the previous fiscal year; and (iii) to the maximum extent practicable— (I) the impact of the pilot project on appropriate health, nutrition, and associated behavioral outcomes among households participating in the pilot project; (II) baseline information relevant to the stated goals and desired outcomes of the pilot project; and (III) equivalent information about similar or identical measures among control or comparison groups that did not participate in the pilot project. (C) Public dissemination In addition to the reporting requirements under subparagraph (B), evaluation results shall be shared broadly to inform policy makers, service providers, other partners, and the public in order to promote wide use of successful strategies.
(5) Funding (A) Authorization of appropriations There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as are necessary to carry out this section for each of fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
