Final SNAP Payments: Find Out If You Qualify for Up to $3,102 in Benefits
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed the schedule for the final SNAP payment in Hawaii for October, with eligible recipients receiving up to $3,102. Hawaii’s SNAP payment amounts are higher than those in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia due to increased inflation in the state.
While other states have seen an increase in their maximum payments after the latest Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), Hawaii has experienced a reduction in the maximum payment amounts for SNAP recipients.
