October food stamps refer to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits distributed in October. SNAP is a federal nutrition assistance program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service. It provides monthly benefits to low-income individuals and families to help them purchase food.
SNAP benefits are essential for many low-income households, as they help to reduce food insecurity and improve nutritional outcomes. In October 2023, the average SNAP benefit per person was $230.
