Many employed need food stamps A study by a bipartisan federal group shows that many major employers across the nation have millions of full-time workers who receive federal food and healthcare assistance. The U.S. Government Accountability Office, was commissioned by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) in February, just prior to the pandemic. In Tennessee, according to the study, there were more than 847,000 recipients of food stamp benefits, including 94,000 working adults. Tennessee employers with the largest number of employees receiving these benefits were Walmart and McDonald’s. These employers took the top spots in most states surveyed by the study. The GAO said overall participation in SNAP generally declined between fiscal years 2015 and 2019, but rose again in April 2020.
