SNAP Recipients Could Get Up to $1,756 Before June 28 — Are You Missing Out?

If you’re counting on SNAP benefits to help cover groceries this month, there’s something you should know. The USDA has confirmed that some households could get as much as $1,756 in SNAP payments between June 12 and June 28. But before assuming that check is headed your way, let’s break it all down in plain language.

Where That $1,756 Number Comes From

Okay, so not everyone is getting a $1,756 payout. That number is the absolute maximum SNAP benefit for a family of eight people living in most U.S. states (not including Alaska or Hawaii, which use different rates).

If your family is smaller, you’ll get less. If it’s bigger, you might get a little more — about $220 for each extra person. The USDA adjusts these numbers every year based on food prices, and with how expensive groceries still are, that update really matters.

Why Between June 12 and 28?

SNAP payments don’t hit everyone’s account at once. Each state has its own schedule — and some states spread payments out over the whole month.

For example:

• Florida and Texas send out benefits throughout the entire month, all the way up to the 28th.

• Other states might wrap things up sooner, like by the 10th or 15th.

So if your benefits haven’t arrived yet, don’t panic — you could still see them come through anytime from June 12 to 28, depending on where you live and how your case is set up.

Who Actually Gets the Full $1,756?

That big number — $1,756 — is for big households with very low income. Think families with six, seven, eight people, where no one’s really bringing in much money, or maybe someone in the home is disabled or elderly and can’t work. These folks often also have high monthly bills like rent, electricity, or medical expenses.

If that sounds like your situation and your case is active and up to date, you could be in line for the full amount — or something close to it.

Wondering If You’re Eligible?

If you’re new to SNAP or you’re not sure whether you qualify, here’s what you can do:

• Head over to your state’s official SNAP website (you can Google your state + SNAP).

• Most sites have a simple tool where you put in your income, expenses, and household size — and they’ll tell you if you qualify.

• If you already have benefits, you can log in to your EBT account online or just call the number on the back of your EBT card to check your balance and payment schedule.

Real Talk — What This Means for Families

Let’s be real for a second: food prices are still high, even if inflation has slowed down. And for a lot of families, SNAP is what keeps food on the table. Whether you’re getting $150 or $1,700, it helps make the month feel a little more manageable.

So if you’re sitting there wondering when your money’s coming — and you live in a state that issues benefits late in the month — just know you’re not forgotten. Payments are still rolling out through June 28.
