One of the primary government assistance programs in the United States provides low-income families with access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
The distribution dates for this program, which aims to alleviate financial burdens on the most vulnerable households, differ by state, family income, and the number of people living in each household.
