SNAP benefits will be distributed normally through June 2025. The distribution schedule varies by state. Millions of households in the United States receive this assistance to purchase essential food items. Some states issue payments on a specific day. Others make staggered distributions throughout the month.
Food stamps reach recipients according to the schedule established by each state. No widespread disruptions in delivery have been reported. Funds are loaded onto the corresponding EBT cards. Cardholders can use them at authorized retailers. The program continues its normal operations.
SNAP benefits: Which states are distributing payments in the next 10 days?
The program is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), but implementation is the responsibility of state agencies. Continued payments are confirmed for this period, whil the amounts allocated depend on multiple factors.
Several states are scheduling SNAP benefits between June 6 and June 16, with payments ranging from $292 to $1,756:
- Alabama (June 4-23)
- Arkansas (June 4-13)
- California (June 1-10)
- Florida (June 1-28)
- Missouri (June 1-22)
- Tennessee (June 1-20)
- Kentucky (June 1-19)
- Arizona (June 1-13)
Residents of these states who have not received their allocation can expect it within their respective timeframes. Each schedule is set by each local government and varies by state, depending on mechanisms such as the case number, the last digit of the Social Security Number, or even the date of birth.
Maximum food stamp amounts in 2025
Maximum monthly SNAP amounts vary by household size. These figures apply to the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C. A one-person household has a maximum of $291. Two people can receive up to $535.
For three people, the monthly limit is $766. Four-person households have a cap of $973. The maximum for five people is $1,155. Six people can get $1,386. Seven people have a limit of $1,532.
Eight people receive a maximum of $1,751. Each additional member adds $219 to the base amount. These amounts help cover food needs, and the money can only be used to purchase eligible foods at USDA-approved locations.
Before purchasing, we recommend asking the store if they accept SNAP benefits, and avoid purchasing prohibited items, such as cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, or medications.
Income requirements for eligibility for SNAP benefits
SNAP eligibility requires meeting income thresholds. A household’s gross monthly income must not exceed 130% of the poverty level. Net income, after deductions, must be 100% of that level. These thresholds are critical for approval.
Examples effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 illustrate the limits. A single-person household: maximum gross $1,632, maximum net $1,255. A four-person household: maximum gross $3,380, maximum net $2,600. Figures are adjusted annually due to inflation.
Income considered includes salaries, pensions, and other sources. The calculation is made before certain allowable deductions are made. Income verification is an essential part of the process. Official documentation is required for verification.
Applicant households must meet countable resource limits. The general limit is $2,250 in liquid assets. This includes bank accounts, cash, and accessible investments. Not all assets are considered countable resources.
The limit increases to $3,500 if the household includes persons over 60 years of age. It also applies if there is a member with a recognized disability. Vehicles and primary residences have specific exclusion rules. Resource regulations are established federally.
