Food Insecurity Among Veterans: Examining the Discrepancy Between Veteran Food Insecurity and Use of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Year: 2023

Type: book

Abstract: Food-insecure veterans are consistently less likely than their nonveteran peers to be enrolled in SNAP, and two groups are particularly at risk of falling through the cracks in SNAP access: older veterans and disabled veterans. This research adds to the evidence base on the potential reasons for food-insecure veterans' lower SNAP enrollment and the role of state-level SNAP policies.
