The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed that some states, the District of Columbia, and Guam will issue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits only through November 10, 2024.
Individuals in these areas need to be aware of their state’s specific payment schedule to ensure they don’t miss out on their food assistance benefits.
Maximum SNAP Benefits for Individuals
In the 48 contiguous states and D.C., individuals can receive a maximum of $292 in monthly SNAP benefits. This amount is consistent across these regions. In Guam, due to higher local inflation, recipients can receive slightly larger payments to reflect increased costs.
