Abstract

The article presents a report from the Congressional Research Service on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It highlights that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides benefits to lowincome, eligible households on an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card; benefits can then be exchanged for foods at authorized retailers; and SNAP reaches a large share of lowincome households, particularly so during the COVID-19 pandemic.
