SNAP, which used to be called Food Stamps, is now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It can give someone who is qualified a monthly payment of up to $292 after the 2025 COLA increase, which is about $199 per CBPP.

With SNAP, you can save money on things like museum admission or sometimes the cost of the internet. Another benefit is the Restaurant Meals Program (RMP), which helps a certain group of people in some states.

Who can take advantage of the SNAP Benefits at Restaurants?

For your information, this is only for people who:

• Are not able to prepare meals for themselves at home
• Do not have a permanent house where they can store food or cook it

There are a number of requirements to be able to join the Restaurant Meals Program (RMP). The first is to be proven to be a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) user.

Second, your state must offer the RMP; otherwise, you won’t be able to use it. Also, every person staying in the house must meet at least one of the following conditions.

SNAP and the Restaurant Meals Program conditions:

Make sure you meet at least one of the following things:

• Is an elderly person aged 60 or older
• Has a disability and receives either blindness or disability payments from a government agency
• Is a spouse of a SNAP recipient who qualifies for RMP
• Is experiencing homelessness
