The USDA has released the September dates and potential maximum amounts for SNAP users to get Food Stamps. In the 48 contiguous States, this will be the final month that these maximum amounts are in effect.
Furthermore, in order to qualify for SNAP benefits for more than three months out of a three-year period, able-bodied adults without dependents between the ages of 18 and 54 must work at least 80 hours per month. The time limit rule will also apply to those who are 53 and 54 years old. The $766 payments for three-member families through September 23, 2024 are the next topic we’ll discuss.

Who is eligible for these States’ $766 SNAP benefits?
The maximum amount in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia for a household of three is $766. In the event that there are no reductions, you will be eligible to earn this maximum amount.
If you don’t have any resources or other sources of income, or if your financial status and personal circumstances permit the SNAP office to provide you the entire amount, then this might be feasible. The CBPP claims that households of three only receive $598 on average.
September is the final month that families with three members are eligible to receive $766. Following the 2025 COLA, this maximum amount will marginally increase. October 1, 2024 is when it will change to $768. Thus, individuals who qualify can receive an additional $2.
