EBT Benefits SNAP 2025

SNAP recipients could experience an increase in their benefits 

The federal government has confirmed an increase in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for 2024. SNAP recipients will now receive $1751 per month, which seeks to assist low-income families in coping with rising food costs due to high inflation.

Households participating in SNAP will experience a 12.5% increase in their monthly benefit compared to 2021 levels. This increase is part of the annual adjustment to SNAP allotments made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reflect food price inflation. With grocery prices up nearly 13% over the past year, the record payments of $1,751 take on added significance.

Households wishing to receive the maximum $1751 SNAP payment must meet national eligibility requirements, which are based on factors such as income, assets, employment status, and other criteria. The benefit calculation considers family size and income, with the full amount reserved for households with 6 or more members.

SNAP provides monthly benefits through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card for food purchases. These benefits can be used at authorized retailers displaying the Quest logo, such as supermarkets and some farmers' markets, to purchase eligible foods.

SNAP recipients will receive their first 2024 benefit allotment in January, followed by monthly payments issued according to state-established schedules. SNAP funds are generally distributed during the first 10 days of each month via EBT cards, which function like debit cards and can be used to purchase eligible food.
