Starting in one week, Texas SNAP recipients will receive direct August payments of up to $1,691 in food stamps.

Texas’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Get ready, because in⁤ just ⁣one week, Texas’s​ Supplemental Nutrition ⁣Assistance Program will begin issuing August payments worth up⁢ to $1,691! The amount you receive will depend on the size of your ​household. Single households will receive $281, while eight-member households will receive the maximum amount.

When Will You Get Your Payment?

If you’re a recipient of the program, mark your ‌calendars for the middle of August. Texas’s SNAP issues payments ⁤during the first 10 business days of the month. The specific date of your payment depends on⁢ your Eligibility Determination Group‌ number. So keep an eye out for that Lone Star Card, which acts as‍ your EBT card, as the funds will ​be loaded onto‍ it automatically. No⁤ need to take any⁣ further action!

But what about the work rules? Well, if you’re aged‍ 16-59, Texas has some requirements in place. You must either be employed, actively seeking⁤ employment, or ‍participating in an approved work program. Remember, you can’t just quit your ‌job without a good reason.

It’s important to note that SNAP benefits​ can only be used to⁢ purchase food and nonalcoholic drinks. This program⁣ is ⁢active across all states and Washington, D.C., with⁣ slight variations between each.
