Hi Jim,
Food stamps (renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or
SNAP) is a mandatory program, so participation is determined by
eligibility standards (income, assets, citizenship, etc.), not budget
limits.

according to US National Public Radio,

which amounts to 34 million people receiving food stamps.<
are there budgetary limits on the issuance of food stamps that might hit
due to increased demand?
