Overview

• December SNAP payments, worth up to $1,751, are set to end in Delaware in 10 days, in New Mexico in seven days, and in Kentucky in six days.
• SNAP payments are distributed based on the recipient's last name in Delaware, the last two digits of their Social Security number in New Mexico, and the last digit of the recipient's case number in Kentucky.
• SNAP benefits are loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer card, which can be used like a debit card at qualifying stores to purchase eligible grocery items.
• The exact amount an eligible household receives depends on multiple factors, including household size, income limits, and additional assets.
• SNAP aims to improve the nutrition of impoverished people by supplementing their food costs and is active across all states and Washington, D.C., with variations among the programs.
