      abstract = {The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers 15  domestic food and nutrition assistance programs that affect  the lives of millions of people and account for roughly  two-thirds of USDA’s annual budget.  In response to the  Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, USDA launched additional  temporary programs and implemented numerous policy changes  that expanded the scope and coverage of existing programs.   Together, these programs contributed to $183.0 billion in  spending on food and nutrition assistance programs in  fiscal year (FY) 2022 (October 1, 2021–September 30, 2022).   This report uses preliminary data from USDA, Food and  Nutrition Service (FNS) to examine program trends and  policy changes in USDA’s largest domestic food and  nutrition assistance programs through FY 2022.  It also  summarizes a recent USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS)  report examining the prevalence of household food  insecurity in the United States in 2021 and another USDA,  ERS report examining changes in food choices in the USDA  Foods in Schools program.},
