Some SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients will get their first monthly payment in November because they have just received the Food Stamps office approval. If you are in this situation, you need to know that the current maximum amounts include the 2025 COLA increase.
A single person can receive about $199 on average said the CBPP. However, the maximum amount will be $292 after the COLA increase. Unfortunately, individuals on SNAP will only get up to 1 dollar extra after the cost-of-living adjustment.

SNAP requirements to get Food Stamps in November
Only those citizens who meet all the conditions can receive SNAP benefit payments in November. If you qualify for expedited benefits, you may even receive Food Stamps in November, but that implies you have almost no money on hand and no earnings.

Work and income requirements are essential too. Those aged 18-54 must work at least 80 hours per month unless they qualify for an exemption. For more details visit: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/recipient/eligibility
