According to Marca , Millions of Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help provide access to nutritious food that they may not otherwise be able to afford. SNAP supports low-income families by providing financial assistance to purchase food from approved retailers such as grocery stores and farmers’ markets.
The program is administered through Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, which replaced the old paper food stamps in 1990. The goal of SNAP is to combat food insecurity caused by economic challenges within families, and it is available to eligible residents in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Some states have their own specific names for the program, such as CalFresh in California and SNAP in Idaho.
The EBT card functions as a digital payment method, with monthly funds loaded onto it, allowing recipients to buy eligible food items. In some states, the EBT card has a unique name, such as “Lone Star” in Texas and “Quest” in Arizona. Payment dates for SNAP benefits vary by state and are often based on the beneficiary’s case number or the last digit of their registration number.
SNAP Payment Amounts
The monthly amount of SNAP benefits varies depending on family size and other factors. A single individual may receive $292, while a family of eight could receive up to $1,756 per month.
