MILWAUKEE, April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SNAP is responsible for the majority of Farm Bill outlays. Some federal legislators would like to reallocate money from SNAP towards safety net programs for commodity farmers. New research demonstrates how SNAP itself helps farmers. SNAP increases demand for the food and commodities that farmers grow; farm commodity prices are slightly (less than 1%) higher due to SNAP. Therefore the conclusion is drawn that SNAP not only benefits U.S. households in need, it supports U.S. farmers as well.

Key Points: 
  • Some federal legislators would like to reallocate money from SNAP towards safety net programs for commodity farmers.

ARLINGTON, Va., April 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With poverty rising among older Americans and the cost-of-living still a challenge for those living on a fixed income, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) is raising awareness this month about the $30 billion in benefits that eligible older adults leave unused each year because they don't know about these assistance programs or how to apply.

  • These partners operate under NCOA's national network of Benefits Enrollment Centers , supported by the U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL).
