Your Family May Get Up to $1,155 in SNAP Benefits: Know the Critarie to Qualify

The “Mystery” of the Non-existing Supplemental Security Income Payment in March

SNAP Payments to Resume in Texas: Up to $1,756 Coming to Your Lone Star Card

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP benefits) will distribute new food stamps in dozens of states starting on the first of June. As you already know, these food stamps are intended for people in vulnerable economic situations and are intended to prevent them from falling into food or malnutrition risk.

The amount you will receive on your EBT card each month, if you qualify, will depend on the number of people in your household. For example, a single person may receive up to $291, but a typical family of four may receive $973 per month.

The same values apply for the 48 contiguous states and DC until September 2024. The list of values of SNAP benefits between 1 and 8 people (and then for each additional member) is as follows:

Household Size 1: $291
Household Size 2: $535
Household Size 3: $766
Household Size 4: $973
Household Size 5: $1,155
Household Size 6: $1,386
Household Size 7: $1,532
Household Size 8: $1,751
Each additional person: $219

SNAP Maximum Allotments Are Not the Same in All the States

In the states of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands, the values are usually higher because the costs of living and food in general are higher in those places. In the specific case of Alaska, there are three values: Rural 1, Rural 2 and Urban, and each of them is stipulated by the costs of living in the different areas of the state duly identified as such.

The dates scheduled for the month of June in all the states and territories where the SNAP benefits operate are different, because although the program is funded from the federal state by the United States Department of Agriculture, each state or territory has the power to distribute them as it understands that it is more effective according to local needs and realities.
