The SNAP benefits can send Food Stamp checks worth $768 through December 28 for 3-member families. This will be the full amount if you get no reduction from your local Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program office. Of course, if your household size is different, you may qualify for a completely different amount.
SNAP can provide eligible recipients with up to $1,756 if they are 8. Families of four can receive up to $975, up from $973. If you are single, the full amount will be $292. Couples and 2-member families can receive up to $1,756. These amounts will only be for the 48 contiguous States. Hawaii and Guam will issue larger benefits due to higher inflation there.
