- Households with digits 04 to 06: Payment on the 2nd of the month
- Households with digits 93 to 95: Payment on the 27th of the month
- Households with digits 96 to 99: Payment on the 28th of the month
To qualify for SNAP in the Sunshine State, residents need to have a gross monthly income that is less than or equal to 200% of the federal poverty level.
The maximum payment varies depending on the household size. For example, a household of one can receive up to $281, while a household of three can receive up to $740. If you have a household of five, you may be eligible for up to $1,116. Additionally, an extra $211 is included for each household member over eight.
Did you know that around 2.85 million people, which is approximately 13% of Florida’s population, receive SNAP benefits? The average payment per household member per month is $180.
