In the United States, eligible low-income families are granted food benefits via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which assists them in affording nutritious food.
The Fiscal Responsibility Act of President Joe Biden amends the SNAP eligibility requirements for able-bodied adults aged 51 to 52 to demonstrate active employment, education, or training; this deadline will increase to 54 in October 2024.
Pregnant women, the destitute, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those under 24 who are in foster care on their 18th birthday are exempt.
The upper limit of allotments for households consisting of one to eight members, as well as any additional individuals, is $1,751 USD.
Although the primary objective of SNAP is to aid low-income families, the provided quantities might not be sufficient to sustain the households. Contributing to food security, the program’s payment calendar for 2024 differs by state and provides a monthly schedule for benefit distribution.
