SNAP Checks Of Up To $1,756-$3,516 In November

The USDA has confirmed the 2025 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) payments, which became effective on October 1, 2024.

This adjustment has raised the maximum benefits to assist families in managing inflation. With the COLA increase now in place, let’s take a closer look at the SNAP payment schedule for November and the maximum benefit amounts.

SNAP Schedule

SNAP benefits are not disbursed on the same day for everyone, with each state having its unique schedule. This means recipients across the U.S. may receive their benefits on different days in November, depending on where they live.

States like Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, and North Dakota will distribute their benefits in a single payment on November 1.

Other states, such as Alabama, will distribute SNAP payments over several days, starting November 4 and ending November 23.

Here is a breakdown of the November SNAP payment schedule by state:

Payment Amounts

The 2025 COLA adjustment has updated SNAP benefits to help families combat rising living costs.

While the maximum benefit amounts remain consistent through September 30, 2025, they vary by state due to differences in the cost of living.

In the 48 contiguous states, a single-person household can receive up to $292, while a family of four can get as much as $975. Here’s how the payment maximums break down for different regions:

Household Size48 Contiguous StatesHawaiiAlaska
1 person$292$517$586
4 people$975$1,723$1,953
8 people$1,756$3,102$3,516

The increased benefits ensure that larger families in high-cost states like Alaska and Hawaii receive more assistance. For instance, a family of eight in Alaska could get up to $3,516 a month in SNAP benefits under the 2025 COLA.

Key Details to Remember

  • SNAP payment schedules differ by state, with many issuing benefits in a staggered manner throughout the month.
  • The 2025 COLA has brought higher maximum payment amounts, which will remain effective until the end of September 2025.
  • Larger households, especially in states with a higher cost of living like Alaska and Hawaii, can receive significantly more assistance.

The 2025 COLA increase ensures families will have a little more in their pockets to keep up with inflation and rising food costs.

If you are a SNAP recipient, make sure you know your state’s payment schedule to plan accordingly.
