Food Stamps were first distributed by the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in September. Certain States have really sent all of the money at once.
Certain people are eligible to get up to $527, but they have to reside in Hawaii. In comparison to the 48 contiguous States, Alaska and other territories like Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands also contribute greater amounts.

Largest SNAP benefits before September 11, 2024
Before September 11, the State of Hawaii will mail the largest Food Stamp checks. Although Alaska delivers larger amounts, this State’s contributions ended on September 1st, therefore there are no funds remaining there for this month.
In Hawaii, a family of four can get up to $1,759 via SNAP, but an individual can only receive $527. In a home with eight persons, the maximum amount may be $3,166.
Remember that in the 48 contiguous states, an individual’s maximum SNAP benefit can be up to $291. $8,751 for a family of eight, and $973 for a family of four. Thus, there is a notable distinction. The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam have additional paydays listed below. Guam is able to send $8,581 in total.
Guam: September 1-10
Puerto Rico: September 4 – 22
The District of Columbia: September 1-10
