Food Stamps for October have not yet been sent out by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Since 2025, the COLA has gone up, families of four can now get up to $975, up from $973.
Even if it’s just a small COLA increase, Food Stamp recipients with four people in their family can get an extra up to twenty-four dollars a year, which is very helpful when you’re trying to save money.

Other SNAP amounts if you are not a family of 4
This means that after the 2025 COLA raise, the most a single person can get from SNAP is $292. That means the people who got it just got an extra dollar, making their total up from $291.
You can get up to $536, up from $535, if you are a couple or a family of two. Again, this meant that the 2025 COLA only meant an extra dollar a month at most. The amount a family of three can get after COLA has gone up from $766 to $768.
With the help of COLA, families with five people can get up to $1,158. Remember that the most that could be bet on 5 was $1,155 in the past. Another reason why families with more children pay more is:
- 6 people: $1,390
- 7 people: $1,536
- 8 people: $1,756
There is a chance that benefits could go up by $220 for every extra person in a home who gets Food Stamps. This is because families can be even bigger sometimes.
