GAO Says Federal Action Needed to Help Veterans Access Food Benefits

Original: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Federal Actions Needed to Help Veterans Access Benefits

The U.S. Government Accountability Office reports that federal agencies need to take further action to help veterans access Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The review highlights gaps in how eligible veterans are identified and connected to nutrition assistance. The findings point to coordination problems between federal and state agencies in reaching former service members who qualify for food support.

Why now: A new GAO report has drawn attention to barriers veterans face in accessing SNAP food benefits.
