CSTThe Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as Food Stamps, is a federal government program that helps people buy healthy food to maintain good health, and continues with its payments at the beginning of this week.The SNAP benefits are overseen by the United States Department of Agriculture, and in Texas the government organization Texas Health and Human Services meets the specific needs of residents.Prince Harry and Meghan Markle offer support to wildfire evacuees in PasadenaEligible people to receive SNAP in Texas will receive monthly benefits on an Electronic Banking Transfer (EBT) card, which in Texas is known as the Lone Star Card, and works like a debit or credit card.With SNAP benefits through the EBT card, you can buy important foods such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fruits and vegetables, as long as they are not hot items, and we must remember that it is forbidden to use it to buy tobacco, alcohol or other services or to pay outstanding bills.Low-income households can apply for the plan, as well as unemployed people, although there are conditions for people between 18 and 52 years old, such as time restrictions on SNAP benefits and the possibility of looking for work. These do not apply to pregnant or disabled women.To claim the benefits, a single-person household can receive a maximum of $2,005 per month, while a household with a family of five has a limit of $4,832. Families of more than five are allowed an additional $707 per person to prevent any abuse of the program.The payment date for SNAP benefits is set according to the beneficiary’s Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number, which is found on official SNAP documents.It is worth mentioning that payments are made from the 1st to the 28th of each month.This is the payment schedule for benefits for this week in January 2025:SNAP EDG number 42-45: January 13SNAP EDG number 46-49: January 14SNAP EDG number 50-53: January 15SNAP EDG number 54-47: January 16SNAP EDG Number 58-60: January 17SNAP EDG number 61-64: January 18SNAP EDG number 65-67: January 19
