Under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the United States, families consisting of four members are eligible to receive a maximum of $975.
In the past, it was known as Food Stamps, and the name of the program may change based on the state in which you reside.
To give one example, people in the state of California call it the CalFresh program. The payment amounts in several states and territories of the United States are higher.
In order to ensure that clients are able to keep their purchasing power, these maximum SNAP amounts have been increased. Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the United States Virgin Islands all have significantly higher costs of living than the others.
The grantees who are eligible and who fulfill all of the standards are therefore able to receive a greater amount of money than they would in the 48 contiguous states.
All sizes of households are eligible for the paydays; however, this article is intended for families consisting of four people.
In May of 2025, families consisting of four members can receive $1,437
If you are eligible for the full amount of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and do not receive any decrease, you are eligible to receive $1,437 in Guam.
When compared to the maximum amount that can be collected in the District of Columbia and the 48 contiguous states, this sum accounts for $462 more.
The whole amount of Food Stamps for the month of May was distributed on the first of the month, despite the fact that Alaska and Hawaii have greater SNAP amounts.
It is for this reason that the winners who are eligible in these two states will be able to collect their money on June 1, 2025 in Alaska and on June 3 or 5 in Hawaii.
If they reside in an area that is classified as Rural 2, families of four in Alaska are eligible to earn up to $586.
It is possible for beneficiaries who live in a Rural 1 area to get up to $481, while those who live in an urban area can receive up to $377. A family of four in Hawaii is eligible to receive up to $1,357 in the month of June.

One of the states is the one that will be providing the final SNAP payments on May 7th or earlier. In the event that you reside in Virginia, the final payday will be on May 7th.
