The remaining SNAP payments in October are to be delivered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). States are now finished with food stamps this month, but many states have many paydays to go.
If you’re an eligible family of 3, you may get up to $768 per month in SNAP payments; if you’re an eligible family of 4, you may get up to $975. An individual can get up to $292 and a family of 8 up to $1,756. By the way, all of these are also subject to the 2025 COLA increase.
