Residents of Texas who are recipients of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits can expect payments of up to $1,756 this week. These benefits provide crucial support for low-income households to purchase food, and recipients should be aware of when they will receive their payments in order to plan accordingly. Here’s what you need to know about the SNAP payment distribution for the week.

Who Is Eligible for SNAP Benefits in Texas?

SNAP benefits are available to individuals and families who meet specific income and resource requirements. Here are the main eligibility criteria:

• Income: The income limit varies based on household size. For example:
  • A single-person household can earn up to $1,473 per month (gross income) to qualify for assistance.
  • A family of four may qualify with a gross monthly income of $3,009.
• Resource Limits: Households must have resources (e.g., savings) of $2,500 or less ($3,750 for households with an elderly or disabled member).
• U.S. Citizenship: Recipients must be U.S. citizens or qualified non-citizens.
• Work Requirements: Able-bodied adults without dependents may need to meet work requirements unless they are exempt.

For families and individuals who meet these criteria, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) will issue SNAP benefits to help cover food costs.

Payment Amounts and Schedule for This Week

In Texas, SNAP payments are issued over several days each month, typically based on the last digit of your case number. This determines when your payment will be distributed. For this week, payments will range from $100 to $1,756, depending on the size of your household and eligibility.

Here’s a general overview of when you can expect to receive your payment:

• 1st to 5th of the Month: If your case number ends in 1 to 5, your payment will likely be issued between January 1 and 5, 2025.
