Description

Focuses on the two groups of individuals that were the most likely to lose their food stamp benefits -- able-bodied adults without dependents, and legal immigrants. Specifically, the report describes (1) the actions, if any, that states have taken to assist those individuals who lose eligibility for the Food Stamp Program, and (2) related actions, if any, taken by other organizations -- to assist those individuals who lose their eligibility for the Food Stamp Program. Surveys the 50 states and the District of Columbia on the actions they are taking, if any, in response to the changes in the Food Stamp Program.
