What is Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program?
'''Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program''' (which is known as SNAP) is a [[food]] assistance program in the [[United States]]. It supplies food for no-income or low-income people. Hot foods, medicines, and [[alcoholic drink]]s are not included. The program was originally called '''Food Stamp Program'''. It was renamed in 2008 through farm bills. The term EBT is often used. During fiscal year [[2012]], close to $75 billion for assistance in food was distributed. As of September 2012, almost 48 million people received benefits. The average amount was less than $135 per month. Some states get more food assistance than other states. {{multistub|food|US}} [[Category:Food and drink]] [[Category:United States Department of Agriculture]] [[Category:Social security]]
