Study: Half of Nation's Poor Don't Get Food Stamps

WASHINGTON - Half of the nation's eligible poor aren't getting the food stamps to which they're entitled, a study released Tuesday found.

The District of Columbia had the highest participation rate in 2004, at 71.8 percent, while Missouri ranked first among the 50 states in getting food stamps to its low-income residents. Nevada ranked last among states, with 32 percent of its eligible residents getting food stamps.
