New report from the White House on SNAP
Hot off the presses! The White House Council of Economic Advisers yesterday released
a new
report on SNAP (pdf) that highlights the short- and long-term benefits of
SNAP, including improved food security and better health, academic and economic
outcomes for children and families. Yet despite serving as the cornerstone to
alleviating food insecurity, the report finds that current SNAP benefits are too
low. Read FRAC’s
statement supporting the new evidence featured in the report.
