The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income individuals alleviate hunger and purchase food so they can obtain a nutritious diet. This report is the latest in a series on SNAP participation rates, which estimate the proportion of people eligible for benefits under Federal income and asset rules who actually participate in the program. This report presents estimates of participation rates for fiscal year (FY) 2014, comparing them to estimates of participation rates for FYs 2010 through 2013.
