Abstract: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, is designed to support low-income U.S. households by providing monthly funds for their grocery spending. As of April 2024, more than 41 million Americans were SNAP recipients, which makes SNAP one of the largest aid programs in the U.S.
