The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin issuing its next round of payments to recipients in July, with the first round set to begin in just two days.
Recipients usually see their SNAP benefits reloaded on the same day each month, with the date depending upon a recipient's Social Security number, last name, case number, or account number.The first four states that start reloading SNAP benefits each month are Vermont, Rhode Island, North Dakota, and Alaska. All low-income households receiving food stamps in those four states will receive their payments on July 1.
The remaining 46 states and the District of Columbia will receive their payments throughout the month of July, with some beginning as early as July 1 and as late as July 10.SNAP benefit recipients will see the amount transferred to a prepaid electronic benefit transfer card. The EBT card works similarly to a debit card and can be used at grocery stores and farmers markets or at some retailers online. The money is intended for purchasing healthy foods.
Typically, an average monthly SNAP benefit for a household of three is $577, with a maximum of $740. An average payment for a household of eight is $1,150, with a maximum of $1,691. Any household larger than eight can be calculated by adding a maximum of $211 per additional person.
