Did Hakeem Jeffries overstate share of veterans using food stamps?

Hakeem Jeffries recently claimed that about 20% of veteran households rely on food stamps, but experts like the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities say this figure is far higher—around 8%. The percentage varies by state, with Oregon leading at 14%, while the national average remains just 8%. Multiple years of data show even lower rates, further undercutting Jeffries' claim.
