No 338582, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides nutrition assistance to eligible, low-income individuals and households in need. SNAP is the largest of the domestic nutrition assistance programs administered by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The SNAP participation rate is the percentage of eligible people in the United States who actually participate in the program. State SNAP participation rate estimates can be used to assess recent program performance and focus efforts to improve access. This research brief presents estimates of State SNAP participation rates for fiscal year 2020.
