The symbol ** (p<0.05) indicates the significance level of the difference, conditional on SNAP eligibility, between pre- and post-ARRA periods (based on a two-tailed t-test). The symbol ++ (p<0.05) indicates the significance level of the pre-ARRA difference between SNAP eligibles and ineligibles based on a two-tailed t-test.
