Giant food stamps, also known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, are a form of government assistance that provides low-income individuals and families with financial aid to purchase food. The program was established in 1961 and is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
SNAP benefits are distributed electronically through Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards, which can be used to purchase food at authorized retail stores. The amount of benefits a household receives is based on their income and household size. SNAP benefits play a crucial role in reducing food insecurity and improving the nutritional status of low-income households. Studies have shown that SNAP participation is associated with improved dietary intake, reduced rates of food insecurity, and better overall health outcomes.
