10 Days to Secure the Largest SNAP Payments in Your State – Act Fast
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has outlined the February schedule for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) payments across all 50 states. While most states provide standard monthly amounts, two states—Alaska and Hawaii—offer higher maximum payments due to their higher costs of living and inflation rates. These larger allotments ensure that recipients in these states can afford the same food items as those in the contiguous U.S.
SNAP Payment Maximums in Alaska and Hawaii
In the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia, a single individual can receive a maximum of $292 per month through SNAP. However, Alaska and Hawaii have set higher limits to adjust for local economic conditions:
- Alaska: Single recipients in Alaska (Rural 2) can receive up to $586. As the number of household members increases, so do the SNAP benefits:
- Two people: Up to $1,074
- Three people: Up to $1,538
- Four people: Up to $1,953
- Eight people: Up to $3,516
- Hawaii: Hawaii also offers higher payments:
- Single person: Up to $517
- Two people: Up to $948
- Three people: Up to $1,357
- Four people: Up to $1,723
- Eight people: Up to $3,102
The difference between payments in the 48 contiguous states and Alaska/Hawaii can be significant. For instance, an eight-person household in the 48 states could receive up to $1,756, while those in Alaska and Hawaii could receive far higher amounts.
