Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Participation and Cost Data (USDA). The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is more widely known as the Food Stamp program. A few factoids from wikipedia:
"The number of Americans receiving food stamps reached 39.68 million in February 2010, the highest number since the program began in 1962.[4] As of June 2009, the average monthly benefit was $133.12 per person.[5] As of late November 2009, one in eight Americans and one in four children are using food stamps and the program rate is growing at 20,000 people a day.[6] Recipients must have at least near-poverty incomes to qualify for benefits.[7]"
