Sheeessshhh.
"(CNSNews.com) - Of the approximately 73,623,000 children under the age of 18 in the United States in 2014, 15,931,000—or 21.6 percent—were in households that received food stamps, according to data released today by the Census Bureau.
The information comes from Table C8 in the Census Bureau’s Families and Living Arrangements data, which is derived from the Current Population Survey’s 2015 Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) and which the Census Bureau says reflects 2014 numbers. (The ASEC survey asks respondents about the receipt of food stamps in the previous year.)
The number and percentage of children in households on food stamps held relatively steady from 2013 to 2014, according to the Census surveys. In 2013, according to Table C8 from the 2014 ASEC, 16,000,000 (or 21.7 percent) of the approximately 73,692,000 children then in the United States were in households on food stamps.
When the Census Bureau released the Families and Living Arrangements data from the 2014 CPS ASEC on Jan. 28, 2015, it put out a press release headlined “One in Five Children Receive Food Stamps, Census Bureau Reports.”
