摘要：

Nearly 10% of older adults reported food insecurity in 2021. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) aims to reduce food insecurity by providing low-income households with benefits to purchase food. Twenty-one older adults discussed their experiences with SNAP during three focus groups. Thematic analysis indicated that benefits were appreciated but insufficient. Participants identified challenges to applying, using, and maintaining benefits in part due to age-related limitations. The results provide evidence that improved nutrition among older adults will require increasing benefit amounts, reducing paperwork, and easing restrictions on the use of benefits to purchase prepared foods.
