January SNAP Payments Being Distributed Across Multiple States

Payments, worth up to $1,751, vary by household size and are loaded onto electronic benefits transfer cards for eligible recipients.

January SNAP payments, worth up to $1,751, are being distributed across multiple states including Delaware, California, New Mexico, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
Each state has a different distribution schedule. For example, Delaware begins distributing on the second day of each month and ends on the 23rd, while California wraps up by the 10th.
SNAP payment amounts are determined by household size, with single-person households receiving $291, and eight-person households receiving $1,751. In households larger than eight, $219 is included for each additional person.
SNAP benefits are loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer card every month, which can be used at grocery stores to purchase eligible food products.
To qualify for SNAP payments, a household's income cannot exceed certain limits, which vary by state. For example, in Delaware, a household's income cannot exceed 200% of the federal poverty level.
