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. |
This page is for advocates. If you’re an advocate, and new to
SNAP, try the Applicants
& Recipients page for a relatively painless introduction to the
complexities of the program. The Retailers
page contains information on what a SNAP recipient can buy with
SNAP benefits. And the Researchers
page contains data on studies on SNAP benefits, data on participation and
costs, and information on maximum allotments, income limits, and allowable
deductions.
