Policy 3715, commonly known as the Food Stamp Program, is a vital federal nutrition assistance program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Established in 1964, it provides monthly benefits to low-income individuals and families to purchase food. The program aims to alleviate hunger and improve the nutritional status of eligible households.
The Food Stamp Program operates through a network of authorized retailers where participants can use their benefits to purchase a wide range of food items, including fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, bread, and cereals. The program plays a crucial role in ensuring food security for millions of Americans, promoting healthier diets, and supporting local economies.
