24. The American Government Continued To Study The Food Stamp Program

Even after the food stamp program officially ended in 1943, the United States Government continued to study the program. The Department of Agriculture wanted to know as much as it could about the program. People came up with reports that they sent to the legislature for further discussion.

Through the studies and reports, people started to notice that American citizens could still use the program. Thousands of people again reported themselves as unemployed and unable to care for their families. Other people stated that while they work, they don’t get paid enough to buy the groceries their family needs.
