Last year, over 40 million people in America got help from SNAP. So, when exactly in August 2025 will the money be added to your EBT card?

As for how much money you can get from SNAP, it varies depending on how much money you make, your living situation, and whether you have a family to feed.

In most parts of America, a single person could get up to $292 per month, and a family of four could receive up to $975 per month. These numbers are bigger in places like Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories.

In 2023, the average SNAP benefit for a household was $332 a month, so you can have an idea of what to expect.

Remember, SNAP aims to help you afford healthy food, so you and your family can eat well and stay strong.
