Food Stamps, formerly known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), are still being sent out by 39 states.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients are not limited to families with four members; they can continue to receive their monthly payment regardless of the number of people in their household.
The transfer of funds to EBT cards has already been completed in other states. Food stamp recipients who have not received their checks yet can see when they are due by looking at the list.

What factors determine the amount of SNAP benefits a household can receive?
To qualify for SNAP, households must pass two income tests. First, gross monthly income should be below 130% of the poverty line. Then, net income, after deductions, must be under 100% of the poverty line.
Assets – Households without an elderly or disabled member must have assets of $2,750 or less. Households with an elderly or disabled member must have assets of $4,250 or less. Most vehicles are not counted toward the asset limit.
Deductions – To find net income for SNAP, several deductions are taken from gross income:
Standard deduction ($193 for 1-3 person households in FY 2024)
Earned income deduction (20% of earnings)
Dependent care deduction
Medical expense deduction
Child support deduction
Excess shelter cost deduction
SNAP benefits depend on household size and the USDA’s Thrifty Food Plan. In FY 2024, a 1-person household gets up to $291. Meanwhile, an 8-person household can receive up to $1,751.
SNAP expects families to spend 30% of their income on food. A family’s monthly benefit equals the maximum for its size, minus their 30% contribution.
