If you have collected your SNAP payments in March, it is time to know when the new Food Stamps will be delivered in April. This is particularly important if you have just applied for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or you have recently gotten approval.
The maximum payment amount for an individual on SNAP is $292. Families of 4, which are very frequent in the United States, can get up to $975. If your household number is 8, you will receive up to $1,756. These maximum amounts are for the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia only.
