Abstract: There is a growing body of literature documenting effects of the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion on demand and supply of health care. This study examines the spillover effects of Medicaid expansion on participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp program, with a focus on uncovering any rural-urban differential. I find a small and statistically insignificant increase in SNAP participation. However, this increase may be decomposed into a downward trend in rural areas and an upward trend in urban areas, resulting in a statistically significant negative rural-urban differential.
