The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, provides monthly payments that vary by state.
While some states provide all benefits on the same day, others distribute them gradually throughout the month.
In all cases, the entire amount is deposited onto the beneficiary’s EBT card in a single transaction.
The distribution of these payments is expected to remain unchanged in August 2025. Furthermore, if you do not use your benefits immediately, the funds are not lost: the balance is transferred to the following month, giving you the freedom to manage your food budget.

How much can you receive with SNAP?
The amount varies depending on your income, family composition, and the state of residence.
The amount of SNAP benefits you can receive is determined by a variety of factors, including your monthly income, housing situation, and household size. In 2025, the estimated maximum amounts in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia are as follows:
A single person can receive up to $292 per month
A four-person household can receive up to $975 per month
It should be noted that in Alaska, Hawaii and some US territories, these maximums are higher due to the cost of living.
