SNAP matters : how food stamps affect health and well-being / edited by Judith Bartfeld, Craig Gundersen, Timothy M. Smeeding, and James P. Ziliak.
In 1963, President Kennedy proposed making a pilot project permanent: the Food Stamp Program (FSP). Renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in 2008, it currently faces sharp political pressure, but the research necessary to guide policy is still nascent. In SNAP Matters, Judith Bartfeld, Craig Gundersen, Timothy M. Smeeding, and James P. Ziliak gather top scholars to begin asking and answering the questions that matter. Overall, the volume concludes that SNAP is effective and highly responsive to macroeconomic pressures, but encourages continued examination of this major pillar of American social assistance. -- from back cover.
