Dont some territories, such as Puerto Rico, use a different version of SNAP?
In Puerto Rico, the Food Stamp Program was replaced in 1982 by a block grant program, called the Nutrition Assistance Program. The Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands and American Samoa in the Pacific also operate under block grants. The territories now provide cash or coupons to participants, rather than food stamps or food distribution. The grant can also be used for administrative expenses related to food production and distribution. The cost for the block grant program in Puerto Rico is $1.739 billion for FY 2008. For the Northern Marianas and American Samoa the block grant programs in FY 2008 cost $15.9 million.
