Description
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is more commonly known as food stamps. In the U.S., it is how the government helps feed people who cannot afford food.
Like many welfare programs, SNAP is created by the federal government and run by the states. All of the money from SNAP comes from the federal government, which also splits the cost of administering the program with each state.
Indiana spends about $4.7 million a year administering its SNAP program, according to the 2023-2024 state budget.
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun has signed executive orders aimed at limiting who can be on the program.
