As of Oct. 1,
2008, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) is the new name for the federal Food Stamp Program.
The new name reflects the changes we’ve made to meet the needs of
our clients, including a focus on nutrition and an increase in
benefit amounts. SNAP is the federal name for the program. State
programs may have different names. |
SNAP helps low-income people buy the food, such
as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, they need for good health.
Through its outreach efforts, FNS works with State and local
agencies, advocates, employers, community and faith-based organizations,
and others to reach out to eligible low-income people who are not
currently participating in SNAP and share information
about the nutrition benefits of SNAP to help them make an
information participation decision.
