A new month is starting, and it’s time to start organizing the family budget, especially for those families that receive SNAP benefits, which are the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP benefits). This is a federally funded program by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), but it is assigned to qualifying families by each state.
Previously, SNAP benefits were known as the Food Stamp Program, and it has always been designed to assist eligible low-income families and individuals in order to purchase nutritious foods. What has brought you to this article is to find your payment date: we have researched what are the dates in all the states and territories in which the SNAP benefits program works, which is basically the 51 states of the Union and also Guam and the US Virgin Islands.
This financial support program calculates the monthly SNAP benefits taking into account the beneficiary’s household income and expenses. In addition, the members of said household also significantly influence the amount of spending actions that are carried out in a given month. Having said all this, three fundamental requirements must be met:
- Household income must be below the federal poverty level (130%).
- It is necessary to present proof of income that proves that these are less than or equal to the poverty line.
- Households that do not have an elderly or disabled member should not exceed $2,750 in resources, while those that do have a member in these conditions can have up to $4,250.
The manner in which the amount and manner of distribution of benefits is determined varies by geographic location, so it is essential to understand how program payments are calculated before knowing the disbursement schedule. If you are eligible to receive SNAP payments, take into account that your state will divide resources based on the number of members in your family:
- 1 person: $291
- 2 people: $535
- 3 people: $766
- 4 people: $973
- 5 people: $1,155
- 6 people: $1,386
- 7 people: $1,532
- 8 people: $1,751
- Every additional member: $219
- Minimum allotment: $23
