Who's heard about this program? If you are charge of servicemembers with larger families, this will help them out (without having to go on 'food stamps').
The FSSA program is a voluntary financial benefits program for military families intended to increase a service member's income in order to remove their household from eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Allowance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the food stamp program). The purpose of this package is to inform and assist Senior Enlisted on the FSSA program. Official policy is contained in Section 402a of title 37, U.S. Code and DoD Instruction 1341.11, Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance (FSSA) Program.
The FSSA website ( https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/fssa/) is only accessible to Active Duty service members, National Guard, and Reserve component members on active duty status. FSSA instructions, policy, and guidance for eligibility can be found on the Resources Tab on the website.

Unfortuneately they look at your income before tax, so it's really rare to find someone who would actually qualify, except Privates with 10 kids of course... But for the average Soldier, not so much...

This program and WIC can be very helpful. I have had up to E6's qualify for WIC.
