SNAP Infographic Flat

The government spends around $106 billion annually on food assistance programs like SNAP, a fraction of the $1 trillion federal budget and nearly 7 times less than what is spent on the military. SNAP benefits of $5 generate $9 in economic activity, and fraud is at an all-time low since electronic benefit transfer cards replaced physical coupons in 1999. While able-bodied adults can only receive three months of benefits in three years unless working 20 hours per week, 40% of recipients already work and 50% of new entrants stop receiving benefits within 9 months.
