SNAP participants will continue to receive their payments through December 28 from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Nutrition Service. Some states haven’t yet finished disbursing food stamp payouts, while some recipients received their money as early as December 1.
The state of Hawaii will provide a household of one with up to $517. This implies that those who are eligible for SNAP can get up to that sum. Note that this state only distributes Food Stamps twice a year.
When will Hawaii issue the SNAP payments in December?
According to USDA, Hawaii received its first SNAP payment on December 3 and its second payment is due on December 5. Therefore, you have the option of receiving on the third or fifth.
SNAP recipients in Hawaii were eligible for the December 3 payment based on the initial letter of their last name. On December 3, food stamp recipients whose last name begins with an A through an I will receive their funds on their EBT cards.
Therefore, in Hawaii, you will receive your Food Stamp payment on December 5 if your last name begins with a letter from J to Z. As a reminder, the USDA states that those who receive both SNAP and cash will be eligible for Food Stamps with direct deposit of cash on January 1, 2025.
Which other States send larger SNAP payments?
Only one state sends more Food Stamps than Alaska: Hawaii. In contrast, Alaska will not receive its next paycheck until January 1, 2025.
Food Stamps were distributed to Alaskans on December 1. For one person, their checks increased to $586, which is $69 more than what is paid in Hawaii. On January 1, 2025, the US Virgin Islands will likewise provide the next round of SNAP benefits.
Additionally, Guam has greater payments than the 48 states that border it. Up to $431 will be sent by Guam between now and December 10, 2024. Remember that the maximum amount that an individual can receive is $292 if they reside in one of the 48 contiguous states or Washington, D.C.
