Food Stamp Expenditures Go To Those With Long-Term Dependence
Percent of Total Food Stamp Spending for Non-Elderly Adults and
Children, 1979-1998
3.4% - Less Than 1 Year of Dependency
6.2% - 1 to 2 Years of Dependency
20.8% - 2 to 5 Years of Dependency
28.9% - 5 to 10 Years of Dependency
40.8% - 10+ Years of Dependency
