What to Know About SNAP Eligibility and Payments

While some families may receive up to $768 for three people, the actual payment amount depends on several factors such as household income and size. The average SNAP payment for a family of three after the 2025 COLA is approximately $594.

Factors Affecting Payment Amounts

• Household size: Larger households receive higher payments.
• Income level: The less income a household earns, the more SNAP benefits they may qualify for.
• State guidelines: Payment dates and amounts can vary slightly depending on the state you reside in.

Special Notes:

• Payment dates are spread throughout the month, depending on the recipient’s birth date or last name.
• Some recipients may receive their first payment for the year in November if they have recently qualified for SNAP benefits.
• The COLA increase will be applied to all SNAP benefits starting in 2025, meaning payments are slightly higher to account for inflation.

For specific information about your SNAP payment, visit your state’s Department of Human Services or the USDA website.

The 2025 COLA increase will result in higher SNAP payments for millions of eligible recipients, including those in states with upcoming payment dates in October and November.

Depending on your household size and income, you could receive up to $768 for a family of three or more. Check your state’s schedule for the exact payment dates, and ensure you meet the eligibility requirements for SNAP benefits.
