The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Because of this, the program is sometimes known as food stamps. In more modern times, the stamps were replaced with a debit system known as EBT.

My Florida food stamp application was approved after I found a job. Can I still use last month's benefit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Typically, the food stamp benefits are based on your current income and expenses. If you have found a job and your income has increased, it is recommended to report this change to the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). They will reassess your eligibility and adjust your benefits accordingly. Therefore, it is unlikely that you can continue using last month's benefits.

Are stamps from the old USSR worth much?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most USSR Stamps from 1970s through its collapse have very little value. You can often buy them for as little as 5% of Scott Catalogue value in bulk. Your best bet would be to browse eBay to find out the real market value (don't look at just the prices being charged but look for auctions that actually closed successfully with buyers). Older stamps as well as several specific issues (such as the World Wildlife Foundation issues) have some interest and sells for relatively high price. Collections also in year sets (i.e. sets that contains all of the stamps issued in the year) have good demands.

What fraction of population gets Food Stamps?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to a New York Times article, dated 31 Oct 2013 ("As Cuts to Food Stamps Take Effect, More Trims to Benefits Are Expected"):

" As of this past July, the most recent month of data available, there were nearly 48 million, representing about a seventh of the American population."

The quoted one-7th of the population would convert to percentage by, dividing 1 by 7. The answer would be about 0.1428...., therefore you would multiply the answer by 10, getting 14.28 or about 14% of the population, as of this past July (2013).
