SNAP payments of up to $3,516 to go out in 8 days, check Food Stamps paydays in November
According to Vibes.okdiario, As October rolls on, most states have begun delivering their monthly SNAP payments, leaving millions of Americans awaiting their Food Stamps. The maximum benefit amount for a household of eight in the contiguous 48 states is $1,756 after the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). However, states like Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be issuing higher payments due to their elevated cost of living.
While Alaska continues to provide the largest benefits, Hawaii’s recipients have experienced a reduction in their payments despite the COLA. This means that the new 2025 COLA may be a disappointment for many customers in these regions.
