Government programs do exist to help those in financial trouble put food on the table or pay for medical expenses.
However, as the effects of the last recession are still felt, more people may find they have to rely on the assistance provided by Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the latter more commonly known as food stamps.
According to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, SNAP saw a 32 percent increase in Georgia from December 2008 to the same month in 2009. During that time, Medicaid recipients also went up by 9 percent. But the paper noted the state is planning on reducing the number of workers who administer the program by 137 people.
