Whether you name them SNAP, Food Stamps, or CalFresh in California, these monthly payments end in November. As a result, it is necessary to plan your December budget so that you may begin grocery shopping as soon as you receive your benefits from the US Department of Agriculture.
Depending on where you reside, SNAP benefits may be delivered on a single payday to all those who qualify, or they may take up to 28 days if you live in Texas or Florida.

SNAP amounts in December 2024
The maximum amounts for December 2024 will stay the same as they would be through September 30, 2025. A single SNAP recipient can get up to $292 in the 48 contiguous states.
Those with big family sizes will be able to receive the largest benefit payment. Keep in mind that if you are eight, you can receive up to $1,756. Alaska will once again be the state to provide the greatest benefit payouts.
