It is not clear if the dollar values are inflation adjusted or not…. I would guess not?

According to this chart, in 2024 there were about 45,000 SNAP recipients, which is off by an order of magnitude. According to [readily available data from the USDA](https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/chart-detail?chartId=55416), „In fiscal year 2024, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) served an average of 41.7 million people per month.“
I think perhaps you’ve accidentally mislabeled the units on the left axis. Those should be millions, not thousands.

Are the benefits values inflation-adjusted?
