The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest of the domestic nutrition assistance programs administered by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). SNAP provides millions of Americans with the means to purchase food for a nutritious diet. During fiscal year (FY) 2021, SNAP served an average of 41.6 million people monthly and paid out $108 billion in benefits, including emergency allotments to supplement SNAP benefits during the COVID-19 public health emergency.The characteristics of SNAP participants and households and the size of the SNAP caseload change over time in response to changes in program rules as well as economic and demographic trends. To quantify these changes or estimate the effect of adjustments to program rules on the current SNAP caseload, FNS relies on data from the SNAP Quality Control (QC) Database. This database is an edited version of the raw data file of monthly case reviews that are conducted by State SNAP agencies to assess the accuracy of eligibility determinations and benefit calculations for their SNAP caseloads. These data cover the last three months of FY 2021.

This report provides information on the number of persons and households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - known as CalFresh in California - on a monthly basis, by county. Caseload figures are broken out by public assistance/non-public assistance status as well as federal/state funding status. Benefit issuance dollar amounts are also provided.

The Food Assistance Program provides Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards that can be used to buy groceries at supermarkets, grocery stores and some Farmers Markets. This dataset provides data on the number of households, recipients and cash assistance provided through the Food Assistance Program participation in Iowa by month and county starting in January 2011 and updated monthly. Beginning January 2017, the method used to identify households is based on the following: 1. If one or more individuals receiving Food Assistance also receives FIP, the household is categorized as FA/FIP. 2. If no one receives FIP, but at least one individual also receives Medical Assistance, the household is categorized as FA/Medical Assistance. 3. If no one receives FIP or Medical Assistance, but at least one individual receives Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa or hawk-i benefits, the household is categorized as FA/hawk-i. 4. If no one receives FIP, Medical Assistance or hawk-i , the household is categorized as FA Only. Changes have also been made to reflect more accurate identification of individuals. The same categories from above are used in identifying an individual's circumstances. Previously, the household category was assigned to all individuals of the Food Assistance household, regardless of individual status. This change in how individuals are categorized provides a more accurate count of individual categories. Timing of when the report is run also changed starting January 2017. Reports were previously ran on the 1st, but changed to the 17th to better capture Food Assistance households that received benefits for the prior month. This may give the impression that caseloads have increased when in reality, under the previous approach, cases were missed.

These data are monthly listings of households, recipients and expenditures for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

This public dataset published by USDA summarizes the total number of enrollees in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by region. SNAP provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food budget of families and persons meeting eligibility criteria related to monthly income. Program enrollment data offers a direct look into some of the most important underlying social determinants of health (SDoH) by county, including financial insecurity and food insecurity. Analysis of this data can also provide information about the characteristics of the subsidy program’s reach and market penetration over time. As an objective marker of the welfare benefit program’s utilization, these data also offer a complementary view of these SDoH alongside the survey-based questions about SNAP that are included in the ACS dataset. States report these administrative data to the USDA twice a year. The dataset includes total count of people, households and issuance of SNAP benefits by county or county/program.

This dataset provides a central data source for information on State policy options in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) offers nutrition assistance to millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families and provides economic benefits to communities. FNS (Food and Nutrition Service) also works with State partners and the retail community to improve program administration and ensure program integrity.

Trends in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Participation Rates: Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2017 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 rates for fiscal year (FY) 2017, comparing them to rates for FYs 2010 through 2016.

This report provides information at the state and town level of people served by the Connecticut Department of Social Services for the Calendar Years 2012-2024 by demographics (gender, age-groups, race, and ethnicity) at the state and town level by Medical Benefit Plan (Husky A-D, Husky limited benefit, MSP and Other Medical); Assistance Type (Cash, Food, Medical, Other); and Program (CADAP, CHCPE, CHIP, ConnTRANS, Medicaid, Medical, MSP, Refugee Cash, Repatriation, SAGA, SAGA Funeral, SNAP, Social Work Services, State Funded Medical, State Supplement, TFA). NOTE: On March 2020, Connecticut opted to add a new Medicaid coverage group: the COVID-19 Testing Coverage for the Uninsured. Enrollment data on this limited-benefit Medicaid coverage group is being incorporated into Medicaid data effective January 1, 2021. Enrollment data for this coverage group prior to January 1, 2021, was listed under State Funded Medical. Effective January 1, 2021, this coverage group have been separated: (1) the COVID-19 Testing Coverage for the Uninsured is now G06-I and is now listed as a limited benefit plan that rolls up into “Program Name” of Medicaid and “Medical Benefit Plan” of HUSKY Limited Benefit; (2) the emergency medical coverage has been separated into G06-II as a limited benefit plan that rolls up into “Program Name” of Emergency Medical and “Medical Benefit Plan” of Other Medical. NOTE: On April 22, 2019 the methodology for determining HUSKY A Newborn recipients changed, which caused an increase of recipients for that benefit starting in October 2016. We now count recipients recorded in the ImpaCT system as well as in the HIX system for that assistance type, instead using HIX exclusively. Also, the methodology for determining the address of the recipients has changed: 1. The address of a recipient in the ImpaCT system is now correctly determined specific to that month instead of using the address of the most recent month. This resulted in some shuffling of the recipients among townships starting in October 2016. 2. If, in a given month, a recipient has benefit records in both the HIX system and in the ImpaCT system, the address of the recipient is now calculated as follows to resolve conflicts: Use the residential address in ImpaCT if it exists, else use the mailing address in ImpaCT if it exists, else use the address in HIX. This change in methodology causes a reduction in counts for most townships starting in March 2017 because a single address is now used instead of two when the systems do not agree. NOTE: On February 14 2019, the enrollment counts for 2012-2015 across all programs were updated to account for an error in the data integration process. As a result, the count of the number of people served increased by 13% for 2012, 10% for 2013, 8% for 2014 and 4% for 2015. Counts for 2016, 2017 and 2018 remain unchanged.

Monthly trend statistics on SNAP supplemental nutrition assistance program recipients.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) program that helps low-income families and individuals buy healthy food. In Michigan, SNAP benefits are available through the Food Assistance Program (FAP), which is administered by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and through MI Bridges. Participants in the program receive SNAP funds on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card known as the "Michigan Bridge card", which works like a debit card. SNAP funds can be used to purchase nutritious fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, bread and other products from participating retailers. Many different types of retailers accept the MI Bridges card, including grocery stores, convenience stores, farmers' markets, and more. Please see the MDHHS Food Assistance webpage or log into MI Bridges to learn about eligibility and to apply for the program.This SNAP Retailer dataset includes records from the USDA SNAP Retailer Location dataset that have geographical latitude and longitude coordinates located within the City of Detroit Boundary. A few retailers located outside of Detroit may be included in this dataset if the latitude and longitudinal coordinates provided in the USDA dataset fall within the City of Detroit Boundary. The data is updated every 2 weeks. Each record in the dataset contains data about a retail location, including the retailer's name, address, and whether they participate in the SNAP Healthy Incentive program. Retailer Type definitions are available from the USDA SNAP Store Type Definitions webpage and include convenience stores, farmers and markets, grocery stores, specialty stores, super stores, supermarkets, and restaurant meals programs. Information about the federal program and data is available from the USDA/FNS at the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) website and the SNAP Retailer Data webpage.

The Program Access Index (PAI) is one of the measures FNS uses to reward states for high performance in the administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Performance awards were authorized by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (also known as the 2002 Farm Bill). The PAI is designed to indicate the degree to which low-income people have access to SNAP benefits. The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to describe the calculation of the Program Access Index (PAI) in detail. It includes all of the data, adjustments, and calculations used in determining the PAI for every state.

This dataset contains Food Assistance metrics displayed in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Environment Atlas website, including statistics for SNAP, National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Summer Food Service Program, WIC, FDPIR, and food banks. USDA's domestic food and nutrition assistance programs affect the daily lives of millions of people, with about one in four Americans participating in at least one program at some point during a given year. These programs represent a significant investment, accounting for over two-thirds of USDA's annual budget.

Data was last updated on the USDA website in September 2020.

Any data elements with numerical values reflect figures at the locality-level unless otherwise specified with an asterisk (*). See column descriptions for details. For more information on all metrics in this dataset, see the Food Environment Atlas Food Assistance documentation.

Archived as of 5/30/2025: The datasets will no longer receive updates but the historical data will continue to be available for download. In August 2018, 10 optional questions were added to all online applications through the state for health coverage, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). It does not represent anyone who applied in-person, by telephone, by main, or any other method. In 2019, 79% of those who applied for SNAP, TANF, or health coverage applied online. The assessment does not impact eligibility for SNAP, TANF, or health coverage. Applications are filed at a household level and may represent several individuals. The application includes demographic information for the person who applied and not all members of the household. An individual may complete an assessment every time they apply for health coverage, SNAP or TANF. If an individual completed the survey more than once with multiple applications for assistance, each set of survey responses is represented on the dashboard. If an individual completes more than one assessment when applying for multiple programs, only one assessment will be represented in the data. To ensure personally identifiable information is protected, all data are presented in aggregate and data representing 20 or fewer individuals in any county will not be displayed (the demographic field will show as 0). Because some survey responses are not included in the individual race categories shown here, total counts from the individual race categories add up to less than the total for the "All" race category.
