Receipt of Food Stamps/SNAP in the Past 12...
The data on Food Stamp benefits were obtained from Housing Question 15 in the 2014 American Community Survey (ACS). The Food Stamp Act of 1977 defines this federally funded program as one intended to “permit low-income households to obtain a more nutritious diet” (from Title XIII of Public Law 95-113, The Food Stamp Act of 1977, declaration of policy). Food purchasing power is increased by providing eligible households with coupons or cards that can be used to purchase food. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the Food Stamp Program through state and local welfare offices. The Food Stamp Program is the major national income support program to which all low-income and low-resource households, regardless of household characteristics, are eligible. In Puerto Rico, the program is named Nutritional Assistance for Puerto Rico (NAP).
On October 1, 2008, the Federal Food Stamp program was renamed SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). Respondents were asked if one or more of the current members received food stamps or a food stamp benefit card during the past 12 months. Respondents were also asked to include benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (or Nutritional Assistance for Puerto Rico (NAP)) in order to incorporate the program name change.
