SNAP Benefit: The USDA has revealed when the next SNAP payment will happen and the states that continue to deposit SNAP money into the EBT cards. Some states, such as Alaska, Vermont or Rhode Island, issued all the Food Stamp benefits on September 1, meaning that they can only expect a new payment after October.
Please remember that each state has an opportunity to regulate paydays and applications with the assistance of the local SNAP offices. A portion of these monthly payments is not the 2025 COLA increase for the 48 contiguous states. The new COLA boost will start implementing on October 1, 2024.

SNAP maximum amounts from September 9-28
This will be the final month that the SNAP recipients will be able to be issued up to $291. Food stamps will never be the same again as the new 2025 COLA will see an upswing of benefits across all states but in Hawaii.
For instance, a person can be paid $291 with a family or two people’s household being paid $535. This means that if you are a household or 3, you can get payment of up to $766. The biggest SNAP benefit will be up to $1,751 for the 8 members in a household.
If you know a pal, neighbor or kin who struggles with food insecurity, you can assist them in applying for SNP benefits. Many low-income earners in America are not benefiting from the food stamps.
