The number of children
receiving food stamps remains higher than it was before the start of the Great
Recession in 2007, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau table.
The rate of children
living with married parents who receive food stamps has doubled since 2007. In
2014, an estimated 16 million children, or about one in five, received SNAP
assistance compared with the roughly 9 million children, or one in eight, that
received this form of assistance before the recession.
