Another month has arrived and for households that rely on SNAP benefits to make ends meet, that means a new payment will be made on Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) debit cards.
The United States has several financial aid programs for low-income families, because under the flag of America, no family should go hungry. It is almost a constitutional mandate.
These programs are intended to provide relief to those who need it most. A clear example of this is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, popularly known as SNAP benefits, and years ago as food stamps.
Who are SNAP benefits designed for?
Through this program, monthly payments are provided to families struggling to put food on their tables. The amount given to them month by month depends on the number of family members, as well as their personal situation.
Whatever amount recipients are eligible for, the money is deposited each month onto an EBT debit card, which is accepted at hundreds of stores in every US state.
Although the SNAP program is aid granted by the federal government, it is worth explaining that the funds are administered by state governments, which means that each state in the country is responsible for the distribution of payments, so the requirements and payment date vary from place to place.
This is because each state knows the needs of its territory, and the positive effect on families is much more reliable.
