See a picture of congenital torticollis . Congenital torticollis occurs when the neck muscle that runs up and toward the back of your baby's neck (sternocleidomastoid muscle) is shortened. This brings your baby's head down and to one side. This is known as congenital muscular torticollis. Experts don't know exactly what causes the shortened neck muscle.
SNAP (or food stamps) provides timely, targeted and temporary benefits to people in need so that Americans have access to nutritious food. SNAP responds quickly to changes in our population, growing in response to increases in poverty and unemployment, and shrinking as need is met and reduced.
SNAP is heavily focused on the poor. About 92 percent of SNAP benefits go to households with incomes below the poverty line, and 57 percent go to households below half of the poverty line (about $9,895 for a family of three in 2014). Its net monthly income, or income after deductions are applied for items such as high housing costs and child care, must be less than or equal to the poverty line (about $19,800 a year or $1,650 a month for a three-person family in fiscal year 2015).
