How does the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) help food-insecure individuals? How
does SNAP change a recipient's food access on a daily
and weekly basis?
SNAP distributes electronic benefit transfer
cards
that recipients use to purchase food.
The average monthly SNAP allotment
is $126 per person. $126 divided by
30 days/month 5 $4.20, so the recipient
would have this much extra to spend on
food each day, or $29.40 to spend each week.
(Note, however, that the practical benefits also
depend on the recipient's access to grocery
stores or farmers markets where healthy foods
can be purchased inexpensively.)
