SNAP is a Federal payment that receives funds from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Agency in charge is the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) and it allows States to arrange paydays and applications. Food Stamps can be worth up to $1,756 in 2025.
Only the States of Alaska and Hawaii will deliver higher payments in 2025. Unlike the 48 contiguous States which receive the same maximum amount, they get extra money to cope with inflation and a higher cost of living in these 2 States. Apart from them, U.S. territories like Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands also get more from SNAP.
