USDA funds SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) in the United States. Although the 48 contiguous States share the maximum Food Stamp amounts for 5 (it could be up to $1,158), Alaska and Hawaii will issue larger payments in 2025.

SNAP payments are also higher in Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. The high cost of living makes it possible to receive more money than elsewhere in all these areas.

If you are living in one of these two States, check the maximum SNAP payment amounts for 5. Without a doubt, the largest maximum payment for Food Stamp recipients will be in Alaska.

A SNAP recipient in Alaska can receive up to $586 while in the 48 contiguous States, it is up to $292. So, for five, it is up to $1,494, or up to $1,905, or up to $2,319. The lowest maximum amount if for citizens in Alaska who live in an urban area. Rural Area 1 or 2 receives larger payments respectively.

Five-member families living in Hawaii can receive up to $2,046. Even if it is a lower maximum amount than in Alaska, it is a great deal of money if compared to the other State’s maximum amounts.
