Eligible households under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in certain U.S. territories, such as Guam, may receive up to $2,588 in benefits for a family of eight. This higher payment reflects the elevated cost of living in those areas. For residents of the 48 contiguous states, the maximum benefit is capped at $1,756 for a family of the same size. As the year nears its end, only four paydays remain, making it crucial for recipients to plan accordingly.
Who Is Eligible for These Benefits?
The exact amount of SNAP benefits is determined by household size, income, and financial resources. Families with no income may qualify for the maximum payment, while those with some earnings receive reduced amounts. The remaining paydays in 2024 are essential for recipients to receive the financial assistance needed to cover basic food necessities.
