USDA has made it official. The March payments for SNAP recipients will go through the 13th in Arizona, Arkansas, and Minnesota. Food Stamp amounts for a family of 4 can be up to $975 in the 48 contiguous States.
Therefore, SNAP payments of up to $975 could be sent in Arizona, Arkansas, and Minnesota. Of course, if you have a different household size, you may receive a different amount. In fact, average payments for families of 4 are lower too. According to the CBPP, the average payment for 4 is about $726.
