SNAP benefits average only $6.20 per person per Day, or about $2 per person per meal. The benefits of SNAP are highly targeted to focus on those with the greatest needs. 92% of SNAP benefits go to households with income below the poverty line and 54% go to households at or below half of the poverty line. Additionally, every dollar spent on SNAP benefits generates as much as $1.54 to the local economy. House Republicans are putting forward a farm bill which would end the USDA's authority to increase the Thrifty Food Plan. (01:03–01:13)
