- The U.S. army is recommending soldiers apply for SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps, to help cover their rising costs from inflation.
- The U.S. Army cites the higher prices on a range of goods because of inflation in its recently released official guidance. The guidance points soldiers to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and links them to the federal welfare program’s website.
- “SNAP is a U.S. government program that provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families via an electronic benefits transfer card that can be used like a debit card to purchase eligible food in authorized retail food stores. Service members and their families may be eligible,” the Army guidance reads.
