According to the report of The Washington Examiner, this week, my family in eight states, like many others, will receive our July Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments, up to $1,751 for our household of eight. This money will be on our EBT card, acting like a debit card for groceries. To qualify, our income must be below 130% of the poverty line, helping us afford essential food throughout the year.
Beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in eight states will receive their July payments this week, with amounts reaching up to $1,751 for a household of eight. These payments, deposited onto EBT cards that function like debit cards for groceries, are designed to assist families whose income is below 130% of the poverty line, ensuring they can afford essential food throughout the year.
Payment distribution varies by state, with funds often released throughout the month rather than all at once. On average, SNAP recipients receive about $291 monthly for food support.
In addition to the regular payments, families with school-age children will benefit from extra summer funding to address gaps in meal programs during school breaks. This supplemental assistance, known as SUN Bucks, will be added to their July balance, helping to cover the cost of meals that would typically be provided through free or reduced-price lunch programs during the school year.
