Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the unemployment system in response to poor economic conditions and joblessness during the "Great Depression".
FDR started a program in 1939 to help the hungry. It was discontinued when the economy improved. John F. Kennedy started a new program by executive order in 1961 and Lyndon B. Johnson increased Kennedy's pilot program.
food stamp program
The food stamp program was started in the 1960's.. no such thing as 1940 food stamps. There were ration stamps for food and gas in the forties during WW2
The Food Stamp Program is officially "The United States Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program" (SNAP), which is administered by the US Department of Agriculture and disbursed through programs run by the individual states.
Food stamps were not available in 1950. The previous food stamp program ended in 1943 and the following food stamp program did not begin until 1961.
Yes it does. It was re-named SNAP - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as of October 1, 2008. See Related Links.
It started in the 1930s, as blue and orange slips that you could trade in for food, like money. The problem was that you had to buy the food stamps, which, obviously, if you could buy food stamps then you could buy food yourself.
The idea for food stamps began under Franklin Roosevelt in he late 30's. The current version began under Jimmy Carter.
