 Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico ( NAP ) — Spanish : Programa de Asistencia Nutricional ( PAN ) commonly known in Puerto Rican Spanish as Cupones ( English : Food Stamps ) — is a federal assistance nutritional program provided by the United States Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) solely to Puerto Rico . It provides over $ 1 @.@ 5 billion USD in supplemental economic resources to help just over 1 million impoverished residents cope with their nutritional needs . It is based on , though not directly part of , the USDA 's national Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program .

 Since its creation , the program has received much criticism both within and outside Puerto Rico . Critics argue that , since the program provides non @-@ taxable income without any employment requirements , recipients receive free money without incentives for work , which hinders the economic output and development of the island , especially when Puerto Rico 's employment participation and unemployment rates have been consistently inferior to U.S. national levels , while the average aid provided in Puerto Rico has exceeded the U.S. national average ( $ 94 versus $ 74 @.@ 79 , respectively ; 2001 estimate ) . Because of this , Puerto Rico has been called the " welfare island " . People from the Dominican Republic do many of the jobs in Puerto Rico that pay too little to attract the locals . However , proponents of the program argue that Puerto Rico 's social condition is in far worse shape than any of the 50 U.S. states . Approximately half of the island 's population lives below the U.S. Federal poverty guidelines , and many have difficulties in meeting their nutritional needs due to increasing inflation and economic stagnation in the island . Furthermore , the relation between the NAP program 's benefits and the low employment participation and high unemployment rates has not been studied , and there is no consensus on their actual causes .
