WH Releases New Report on Benefits of SNAP

https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/documents/SNAP_report_final_nonembargo.pdf

Hot off the presses! The White House Council of Economic Advisers today released a new report on SNAP (pdf) that highlights the short- and long-term benefits of SNAP, including improved food security and better health, academic and economic outcomes for children and families. Yet despite serving as the cornerstone to alleviating food insecurity, the report finds that current SNAP benefits are too low. Read FRAC’s statement supporting the new evidence featured in the report.

We hope you will aggressively share this report with your local media and other stakeholders. We’ve included some sample tweets below.
