The United States Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides access to a variety of staple foods that millions of Americans would not otherwise be able to buy.
This program is intended to assist low-income families by providing them with an alternate method of buying food at specific retail locations, typically farmers’ markets and grocery shops.
Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, which took the place of paper food stamps starting in 1990, are used to distribute the funds.
The program, which is available to citizens of all 50 states and the District of Columbia, aims to address food insecurity issues that arise from family economic difficulties. In certain states, the program is known by a different name, such as CalFresh in California and SNAP in Idaho.
It is the same with the EBT card, which is known as the ‘Lone Star’ in Texas and the Arizona Quest in Arizona. These cards are used to buy food from a predetermined list and are refilled once a month.
The dates on which these resources are distributed, however, differ by state and other factors like the beneficiary’s name or registration number. A single person’s monthly SNAP benefits might be as low as $292, while a family of eight living in the same home can receive as much as $1,756.
November SNAP payments
Millions of SNAP beneficiaries will get their November benefits in the next few days. SNAP payments will continue to be disbursed through November 28, 2024, according to USDA confirmation.
While other states have payments scheduled starting on November 18, Florida and Texas have scheduled payments for the final days of this month.
Only SNAP recipients whose case number ends in 9 will receive payments from the state of Kentucky on November 19. The payment was made on the 17th for those whose case number ended in 8.
Other states that submitted their vouchers by the deadline of November 20, 2024, were New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee, and Washington. On November 18, resources for New Mexico were distributed to case numbers that ended in 09, 29, 49, 69, or 89.
On the 19th, it was given to those whose numbers ended in 10, 30, 50, 70, or 90. Additionally, payment was made on November 20 if it ends in 00, 20, 40, 60, or 80.
