Depending on the State where you live, or even the U.S. territory, the maximum SNAP amount may be higher or lower. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefit payments in Hawaii are one of the highest, right below Alaska’s Food Stamp amounts. In fact, the paydays in Hawaii are just around the corner.
SNAP payments for eligible couples or households of 2 in Hawaii will be issued on November 3 first. After the Food Stamps on the third, there will just be another payday. In fact, November 5 will be the second but also the last payday for Food Stamps recipients in Hawaii.
SNAP payment eligibility in Hawaii and maximum amounts
The Food Stamps on November 3 will be issued to those recipients whose first letter of their last name is A-I. Therefore, if the first letter of your last name is J-Z, your SNAP benefit payments will be sent to your EBT card on November 5.
For your information, USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) claims that combination-SNAP and cash cases with cash direct deposits, benefits will be made on the first day of the month. So, the next cash direct deposit to be issued will be due on December 1, 2024.
