Millions of families in the US can get SNAP benefits every month, which give them extra money to buy healthy food and improve their health.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a government program that helps families who are having a hard time paying for food.
It does this by giving them monthly benefits through electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards that can be used at certain stores and some online stores.
It is important to remember that even though the federal government pays for the program, each state can handle SNAP payments however they see fit.
In California, for example, somebody whose case number ends in 01 will get their benefits earlier in the month than someone whose case number ends in 99.
Some states, like Connecticut and Delaware, base your payouts on the first letter of your last name. Other states, like Alaska and South Dakota, handle all SNAP benefits at the same time.
New SNAP benefits to be delivered in November
Before a household can get SNAP benefits, it has to meet certain standards, such as having assets, a net monthly income, and a gross monthly income.
The amount of people living in each household is used by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to decide how much SNAP benefits each candidate will get.
In order to get the $1.536 payment, for example, you must have a family with seven people. At the moment, recipients can get the following amounts of money in 2024:
- 1 member: $292
- 2 members: $536
- 3 members: $768
- 4 members: $975
