SNAP benefits can provide citizens with checks of up to $1,751. However, that maximum amount is just for a family of 8. If you are a single person, you can get up to $291 in the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia.
These amounts are also for those families who live in the States of Florida and Texas. SNAP recipients in these 2 States may have to wait through April 28 to receive their Food Stamps. Although USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service administers and funds the program, States deal with applications and payments.

SNAP PAYDAY ELIGIBILITY IN FLORIDA
The State of Florida uses SNAP case numbers to arrange paydays. However, they only take the 9th and 8th digits of this Food Stamp case number read backward. Then, they drop the 10th digit.
April 9 will be your payday in Florida if your case number 9th and 8th digits are 28-31. Those SNAP recipients whose case number 9th and 8th digits are 32-34 will collect payments on EBT cards on April 10.
Other possibilities will be: 35-38 on the 11th, 39-41 on the 12th, 42-45 on 13th, 46-48 on the 14th, 49-53 on the 15th, 54-57 on the 16th, 58-60 on the 17th, 61-64 on the 18th, 65-67 on the 19th. For the last payday, April 28, SNAP recipients in Florida must have a case number 9th and 8th digits from 96-99.
SNAP PAYDAY ELIGIBILITY IN TEXAS
Texas, unlike Florida, does not use the case number but the SNAP recipient’s Eligibility Determination Group (EDG). For example, if your EDG ends in 5, you will receive money on your Lone Star card on April 9.
Those Food Stamp recipients whose EDG ends in 6 will get money on April 11. April 12 will be your payday if your EDG ends in 7. Those whose EDG ends in 8 will collect their payments on April 13.
April 15 could be your payday in Texas if your EDG ends in 9. From April 16 onward, there will be more numbers per payment. For instance, if your EDG ends in 00-03, your payment date will be April 16. Visit https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/monthly-issuance-schedule for more details.
