AP: ONE IN EVERY 7 AMERICANS - In a nation of 314 million people, more than 47 million are eating with food stamps each month. Who are they? Children and teenagers make up almost half, according to the Agriculture Department. About 10 percent are seniors. The vast majority don't receive any cash welfare. Many households that
shop with SNAP cards have someone who's employed but qualify for help
because of low earnings.
The average food stamp allotment is $133 a person per month. The monthly
amount a family gets depends on the household's size, earnings and
expenses, as well as changing food prices and other factors.
