If you qualify, SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, can pay up to $292.
If your household is larger, your food stamp benefits may be much higher. A family of two, for instance, may get up to $536.
Naturally, this is only feasible if you fulfill all the prerequisites and receive no reductions.
Recipients frequently do not qualify for the entire amount because their payment amount is impacted by other earnings or benefits.
All of the May SNAP payouts have already been distributed by certain states. Hawaii, for example, made the final payment on May 5. Hawaii’s higher cost of living also results in larger monthly expenses.
The highest amounts (up to $292 for one and up to $1,756 for eight) are shared only by the District of Columbia and the 48 contiguous States.
It’s time to review the remaining May Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program paychecks.

Some SNAP recipients will receive their next Food Stamps in June, as seen below. Others, like South Dakota, might have to wait until the 10th.
