Using administrative records from Missouri, we investigate the characteristics of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants aged 60 and older who experience administrative churn. Among these adults, 1 in 4 experienced administrative churn, and 1 in 5 experienced more than one spell of churn. Risk of churn, frequency, duration of churn spells, and the value of foregone SNAP benefits varied with individual, household, and geographic characteristics, and was more common among non-whites, members of larger households, and those living in urban areas. Our findings suggest that a significant portion of older adults experience gaps in SNAP benefit receipt.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how different levels of registered nurse (RN) staffing in Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACTs) within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) affect patient access to healthcare services.
- - It involved analyzing data from nearly 6,000 PACTs over a 24-month period, categorizing RN staffing stability into continuous churn, instability, vacancy, and stability, comparing their impact on various access measures.
- - Findings indicated that RN churn significantly negatively impacted appointment availability, while staffing instability and vacancy did not show a notable effect; overall, adequate staffing and team stability were linked to better patient access.
Background: Advanced primary care models are key in moving primary care practices toward greater accountability for the quality and cost of a beneficiary's care. One critical but often overlooked detail in model design is the beneficiary attribution methodology. Attribution results are key inputs in calculating practice payments.
