SNAP benefits will be given throughout the United States from December 1 to December 28, 2024. This implies you need to understand how your state handles paydays.
Some of them are considerably easier to grasp because they just have one payday and all Food Stamp beneficiaries receive their funds on the same day.
This is true for Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, North Dakota, and the United States Virgin Islands. They do not need to follow a payment schedule like other states or territories; they simply deliver all funds on December 1, 2024.
How much money can SNAP recipients get in these States and territories?
Alaska will provide the most SNAP payouts due to higher inflation than the other 48 contiguous states. For example, if a family of eight lives in Rural 2, they may be eligible for up to $3,516.
In fact, an individual in Alaska can earn anything from $377, the maximum in a city, to $586, the maximum in Alaska Rural 2. The maximum amounts for individuals and families of varying sizes are the same in the 48 contiguous states.
So, SNAP recipients in North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Vermont can receive:
- Up to $292 for an individual,
- Up to $536 for a household of 2,
- Up to $768 for 3,
- Up to $975 for 4,
- $1,158 for 5,
- Up to $1,390 for 6,
- Up to $1,536 for 7
- Up to $1,756 for 8
- $220 extra for each additional member
