Abstract
We investigated the adequacy of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for Indiana households. Methods included focus groups, interviews, and a statewide survey of 652 households. SNAP benefit-level increases over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic increased their adequacy overall yet were still inadequate for some households. As of June 2022, Indiana households reported their SNAP benefits lasting 13 days a month. The inadequacy of SNAP benefits reveals that some participating households still experience food insecurity, which has adverse public health implications.
