A Closer Look at Who Benefits from SNAP: State-by-State Fact Sheets

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has recently updated and posted new papers on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).  They have useful information on the program and the role it plays at both the national and state level.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) is the nation’s most important anti-hunger program, reaching nearly 48 million people nationwide in 2012 alone. These fact sheets provide state-by-state data on who participates in the SNAP program, the benefits they receive, and SNAP’s role in strengthening the economy.
