Abstract

Food-insecure veterans are consistently less likely than their nonveteran peers to be enrolled in SNAP, and two groups are particularly at risk of falling through the cracks in SNAP access: older veterans and disabled veterans. This research adds to the evidence base on the potential reasons for food-insecure veterans' lower SNAP enrollment and the role of state-level SNAP policies.
