SNAP Assistance: Are Veterans Entitled to Benefits?

[Tony]

Each year, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits help millions of families and adults across the U.S. buy the nutritious food they need to stay healthy on a budget. This includes individuals who have served in the U.S. military.

In fact, in 2019 alone, SNAP-participating households included 1.1 million veterans.1 And according to Brandy Bauer, director of NCOA’s MIPPA Resource Center, the number who qualify but don’t know it is likely even higher.
