las planillas de alimentos (what is that?)

Question

las planillas de alimentos

I'm reading a document and it has this term. Seem to relate to food? Document is from Puerto Rico

edit: Someone just told me that means food stamps.

Answer 1

It's probably a legal term - a bill for food? Planilla is the same as "formulario". A legal dictionary that I have says that "planilla de costas" is a bill of costs. It would stand to reason that "planillas de alimentos" would be a bill for food.

Answer 2

Is same that = food cost bill

Answer 3

A "planilla" is a document, such as a ticket, a chart, a list etc. "Un aliment" is a food item, in general.

Could "las planillas de alimentos" mean "lists of food"? Or could it possibly be the way the "food pyramid/chart" is referred to in Spanish? Do either of these explanations make sense in context?

I don't know. It is in a divorce judgment: "El Licenciado Ortíz Medina sometió en evidencia las planillas de alimentos, así como el Certificado de Acta de Matrimonio expedido por el Departamento de Salud del Estado Libre Asociado." - RachelC, Aug 9, 2012

Legal terminology is always difficult to understand even in ones own language. In this context, "planilla" is most likely a document stating food expenses - 005faa61, Aug 9, 2012
