Washington’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Washington state provides crucial support to households in need. However, it’s important to stay informed about the program’s payment schedule and eligibility requirements.
Payment Dates and Eligibility
SNAP benefits in Washington are issued between July 1 and July 20. While the arrival dates remain consistent each month, the specific payment dates for eligible households may vary. Factors such as Social Security number, last name, case number, or account number determine the payment schedule.
Requirements for SNAP Participation
To secure food stamps through SNAP, households must meet certain criteria. In Washington, recipients must be U.S. citizens or lawfully admitted residents who have resided in the state for at least five years.
Statistics and Payment Amounts
Currently, around 310,900 people, accounting for 18% of the population, receive food stamps in Washington. On average, each household member receives $168 per month.
Payment amounts vary based on household size. A household of one can receive a maximum payment of $281, while a household of three can receive up to $740. Larger households, such as those with five members, may receive a maximum payment of $1,116.
Using SNAP Benefits
Once approved, recipients receive their benefits on an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, similar to a debit card. These funds can be used at participating grocery stores, farmer’s markets, and even some online retailers.
Stay informed and make the most of the SNAP program to ensure food security for you and your family.
