October will be the month when USDA will apply the 2025 COLA and most SNAP recipients will benefit from a Food Stamps increase
SNAP 2025 COLA coming soon
Even though this is good news for most people, it’s important to remember that these raises won’t be seen until October. So, people who get SNAP (Food Stamps) will have to wait a little longer before they see their payments go up.
The check will be worth $292 for each family member after the COLA is added. Any extra money can make a big difference for families who need it, even if this rise doesn’t seem like much.
- The COLA adjustment will take effect in October 2024.
- The maximum benefit amount will be $586 in Alaska.
- Other states will also see an increase, with a maximum of $292 per family member.
- Hawaii will see how benefits decrease
It’s interesting that the rise in SNAP (Food Stamps) payments will happen before any changes are made to other benefits like Social Security. Families who depend on SNAP benefits will get much-needed help from this early application.
- The figures mentioned are the maximum amounts.
- Each beneficiary will receive a check tailored to their specific situation.
Finally, the raise might not be too big, but any money that can help families who are having trouble with money is very important. As October gets closer, stay tuned for more news, and get ready for a good change in your SNAP (Food Stamps) benefits.
Get ready for August 2024, when you will get your SNAP food stamps. The Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) won’t be available for a while yet, but the USDA will still send thousands of checks to people in different states who are qualified. These releases will happen at different times in each state.
