Puerto Rico's Nutrition Assistance Program (PAN) provided monthly benefits to nearly 1.5 million people in 2021. Changes to this program have far-reaching consequences for families and the economy. Over the past four years, there has been increased attention to the inclusion of Puerto Rico in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the largest federal nutrition program in place in the United States, Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands. U.S. and Guam. The movement to include Puerto Rico in SNAP has recently gained momentum, as the issue of equity for U.S. territories has become more relevant in the public conversation. Although bills have been introduced in Congress for a transition from PAN to SNAP, their approach varies. As Congress contemplates the 2023 Farm Bill, the implications of a transition become a necessary focus to advocate for language and alternatives that consider gaps in benefits. This study aims to present information that can inform and enrich this debate. Next, we compared the PAN, the federal block subsidy for nutrition assistance in Puerto Rico, with SNAP. The description of the PAN is based on the regulations applicable to the federal fiscal year (FFY) 2022. These rules are established in Program Regulations No. 8684 of December 28, 2015 of the Administration for Socioeconomic Development of the Family (ADSEF) of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Program operations and any changes to program standards are submitted annually to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in the state's annual plan of operations. The most recent state plan at the time of writing this document corresponds to FFY 2022. The SNAP rules are obtained from various documents on the FNS-SNAP website and from government reports related to SNAP budgets and regulations.
