SNAP benefits will be distributed nationwide between December 1 and December 28, 2024. This suggests that you should be aware of how your state manages paychecks.
Because they only have one payday and all Food Stamp recipients get their money on the same day, some of them are much simpler to understand.
This holds true for the US Virgin Islands, North Dakota, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Alaska. They just deliver all funds on December 1, 2024, and are not have to adhere to a payment schedule like other states or territories.
How much money can SNAP recipients get in these States and territories?
Because Alaska has more inflation than the other 48 contiguous states, it will pay out the greatest SNAP benefits. A family of eight living in Rural 2, for instance, might qualify for up to $3,516.
In actuality, the highest income in a city in Alaska is $377, whereas the highest income in Alaska Rural 2 is $586. All 48 contiguous states have the same maximum amounts for both individuals and families of different sizes.
Thus, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Vermont SNAP users are eligible to receive:
- Up to $292 for an individual,
- Up to $536 for a household of 2,
- Up to $768 for 3,
- Up to $975 for 4,
- $1,158 for 5,
- Up to $1,390 for 6,
- Up to $1,536 for 7
- Up to $1,756 for 8
- $220 extra for each additional member
