USDA through the Food and Nutrition Service is in charge of funding SNAP benefits. However, each State administers payment dates and applications for Food Stamps.
For your information, not all States pay the same maximum SNAP benefits. This is because not all of them have the same inflation and cost of living. The higher the cost of living is, the higher your Food Stamps will be.
States such as Alaska or Hawaii send larger SNAP payments than the rest of the States. Other U.S. territories like Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands also pay more money to recipients than the 48 contiguous States.
