SNAP PARTICIPATION GROWS IN CONNECTICUT

Connecticut was one of 8 states where SNAP participation increased over the past year (April 2013 to April 2014) as nearly 15,000 more state residents received benefits (a 3.5% rise). National SNAP participation went down by 1.3 million over that year. The April 2014 national SNAP participation level is lower than all but two months dating back to October 2011.
