The United States Department of Agriculture has confirmed when the next and last SNAP payment of up to $3,102 will be sent in Hawaii in October. This State has higher payment amounts than the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia.
This is because Hawaii has higher inflation. For your information, there has just been a COLA reduction in Hawaii. While the other States and territories have seen their maximum payments increase, SNAP recipients in Hawaii will get less money for the maximum payment amounts.
Next SNAP payment in Hawaii
According to USDA, Hawaii will send the next Food Stamps payment of up to $3,102 on October 5. Not all recipients get money on their EBT cards on the same day.
In fact, some SNAP recipients in Hawaii have already received their Food Stamps on October 3. Hawaii will send the next Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefit payment to those recipients whose first letter of their last name is:
- first letter of their last name is: A – I: SNAP payment on November 3rd
- first letter of their last name is: J – Z: Food Stamps due on October 5th
Who can receive $3,102 from SNAP in Hawaii?
