SNAP Benefits In June
SNAP benefits are provided through a prepaid electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit card. Recipients can use the EBT card at grocery stores, farmer’s markets, and select online retailers to purchase healthy foods.
The number of SNAP recipients varies across states, influenced by factors such as population size and poverty rates. Eligibility for SNAP benefits is determined based on household income and size, generally requiring income to be at or below 130% of the poverty line. In fiscal year 2023, the poverty line used for calculating SNAP benefits is $1,920 per month.
On average, a household of three receives a monthly SNAP benefit of $577, with a maximum benefit of $740. For a household of eight, the average payment is $1,150, with a maximum benefit of $1,691. Additional individuals beyond eight members increase the maximum benefit by $211 per person.
