While some SNAP recipients in states like Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island and North Dakota are thinking about their Food stamps due from 1 Septemberothers have not yet received their August payment.

For example, if you live in Florida and Texasyou may have to wait until August 28, 2024 to get money on your Electronic power transfer card. Even though these two states begin issuing food stamps early in the month, they have many paydays.

SNAP Benefits Checks for Eligibility in Florida

To be entitled to the Payment on August 28 if you are a SNAP recipient in Floridayou need to know the 9th and 8th digits of your case number. As you might have guessed, it is read backwards and you must omit the 10th digit.

Anyone in Florida receiving food stamps on August 28 must have “case number 9th and 8th digit: 96-99 = benefits available on 28th.” That’s what the USDA has specified in the monthly spending plan for all states.

• If the 8th and 9th digits of your case number are 75-78, the food stamps will be available to you on the 22nd.
• If the 8th and 9th numbers are 79-81, benefits will be available on the 23rd.
• If the 8th and 9th digits are 82-85, benefits are available on the 24th.
• If the 8th and 9th digits are 86-88, benefits will be available on the 25th.
• If the 8th and 9th digits are 89-92, benefits will be available on the 26th.
• If the 8th and 9th digits are 93-95, benefits will be available on the 27th.
• If the 8th and 9th digits are 96-99, SNAP benefits will be available on the 28th.

The maximum amounts you can receive for each household size

SNAP benefits are tied to the cost of the USDA’s Thrifty Food Plan (TFP). Households with no net income receive the maximum benefit amount for their household size.

For fiscal year 2024, the maximum monthly SNAP allotments are:

• 1 person: $291
• 2 people: $535
• 3 people: $766
• 4 people: $973
• 5 people: 1,155 USD
• 6 people: 1,386 USD
• 7 people: 1,532 USD
• 8 people: $1,751
• Each additional person: +219 $

Households with net income receive the maximum benefit for their household size minus 30% of their net income. The estimated average SNAP benefit per person in the 2024 financial year is $189 per month or $6.20 per day.

The allotments listed apply to the 48 contiguous states and DC. Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have different, higher allotments.
