Even if the maximum SNAP benefits are worth $1,751 in the 48 contiguous States, some States and U.S. territories like Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands receive higher Food Stamp amounts.
This is because of the fact that they have a higher inflation rate. Therefore, they need to make up for the loss of buying power their SNAP recipients have. But where can you receive $2,581 in the United States?

If you live in the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia, you could only get up to $291 if you are a single person on SNAP benefits. As you can see, there is a massive difference between both maximum amounts.
