That kinda depends, Mike. "Welfare" has often become a catch-all word for federal poverty maintenance programs in general, instead of just the cash aid to families with dependent children more accurately described by the term. In that sense, food stamps are welfare. Short answer is yes, Mike, I know the difference. And, as a rule, anyone actually getting welfare, is receiving food stamps as part of that. 13.6% increase in food stamp payments, effective April 1, 2009. That's a noticeable bump in the wallet.
