The number of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients is down 12 percent overall, and among what are being called ‘able-bodied adults without dependents’ it’s down 30 percent from January 2018 through September 2018, according to a study from the Urban Institute. This is after the Commonwealth instituted work requirements for SNAP benefits.
