?:abstract
  • The United States Department of Agriculture Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides food and financial assistance to food insecure individuals and families In the midst of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, SNAP benefits evolved Policy changes and federal legislation expanded SNAP eligibility, raised benefit levels, and introduced program waivers that enabled online ordering to reduce participants’ exposure to community-acquired SARS-CoV-2 Although rapid expansion of SNAP benefits in the online space represents significant progress for federal food assistance, changes also introduced unforeseen partiality in how benefits and services were accessed and utilized, as illustrated by two populations and regions in the early months of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: low-income older adults in rural Alabama, and low-income Hispanic adults in urban California Opportunities exist to build on the recent progress in SNAP, while also ensuring continued inclusiveness of eligible persons Efforts should be informed by evidence that supports equitable access to federal food assistance
