El programa de Asistencia Nutricional en Puerto Rico provee menos ayudas que la iniciativa análoga que cubre todo EE.UU, conocida por las siglas SNAP.
According to a study commissioned by federal Agriculture, a transition plan from NAP to SNAP in Puerto Rico could take a full decade - due to changes in technology, among other things - and increase the island's food allocation from $2.9 billion annually to nearly $4.5 billion annually.

Twelve New York state legislators and four New York City Councilwomen, all of Puerto Rican origin, sent a letter to Senate Democratic Majority Leader Charles Schumer in support of Puerto Rico’s integration into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
