Health law boosts food stamp enrollment in several states
The health care law spurred easier signups for benefits, with 11 states seeing 1 to 6 percent more SNAP users from 2013 to 2014 and Nevada up 14 percent. Florida led private insurance enrollment while Medicaid expansion varied by state. Costs rise as enrollment grows, with average benefits around 125.35 monthly and potential broader impact as states upgrade online systems through 2018.
