SNAP benefits are due in twenty-five states this week. To get Food Stamps you must have filed for benefits before. Then, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Office will inform you if you qualify for these monthly benefits.
Do not forget that even if all SNAP beneficiaries receive a monthly payment, they may get it on a different date. This is because the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Nutrition Service fund it, but states administer it.
The maximum amounts are the same in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. However, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands offer higher maximum amounts.
