The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration will conduct the Healthy Food, Healthy Life Survey, to evaluate the impact of the Smart SNAP on June 9, 2026.
This anonymous survey will be offered every six months to SNAP recipients, to gather information about SNAP knowledge, shopping routines, and eating and drinking behaviors.
FSSA will contact SNAP recipients via text message from the phone number 43816 to participate in the survey. The text message will include a link that takes recipients directly to the survey. Participating in the survey is voluntary and will not impact a household's SNAP benefits.
FSSA will conduct a second in-depth dietary recall survey for a sample of SNAP recipients in 2026 and 2027. Participation in that survey will also be voluntary, and FSSA will recruit volunteers via text message.
About Smart SNAP
FSSA launched the Smart SNAP on January 1, 2026, as part of Governor Mike Braun’s Make Indiana Healthy Again initiative, which excludes the purchase of sugary drinks and candy using SNAP benefits in Indiana.
