SNAP payments worth up to $1,751 are being distributed in 38 states

This week, qualified individuals in 38 states, the District of Columbia and territories will receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

SNAP benefits can provide low- and no-income families with money to help pay for groceries. Benefits are given to households whose net monthly income is at or below 100% of the government poverty level. Benefits are generally given over a twelve-month period. You can put money on electronic benefit transfer cards and use them at stores that accept them, including major chains like Walmart and Costco.

According to the Department of Human Services, SNAP payments for a family of eight can cost up to $1,751. People individually and as a family of eight can get $219 each.

People in 35 states and territories started receiving their benefits on June 1, but some people in these places won’t get them until June 28. Different states treat and distribute benefits in different ways. For example, some states pay claimants based on their claim number, while others pay them based on the first letter of their last name, according to the Washington Examiner.
