The USDA has confirmed that SNAP benefits will be distributed in some states, along with the District of Columbia and a U.S. territory, only up to November 10. This means that the final payments will be issued on either November 8, 9, or 10.
It’s essential to remember that the 48 contiguous states and D.C. share the same maximum benefit amount, with an individual receiving up to $292. However, Guam provides a slightly higher Food Stamp payment due to higher inflation.
