Several States Continue to Send SNAP Benefits in September — The Complete Calendar

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP benefits) continues to operate under the 2024 values ​​until next September 30. The amount each beneficiary household receives depends on many factors, among which stands out the number of people who live together and will require the allowance to make ends meet with nutritious and delicious food on the table. 

The maximum monthly amount for each household size is as follows:

• 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
• Each additional member: $219
• Minimum allowance: $23

As we said, these allocation amounts are valid until September 30, 2024, which is when the fiscal year ends. From October 1, 2024, the values ​​will be updated to face inflation using the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) and, although the final percentage has not been announced, it is expected to be around 2.5%.
