SNAP benefits are delivered from the first of the month through the ninth in New York. This Food Stamp schedule is for all counties. However, it will not be the payment schedule for 5 boroughs of NYC. NYC publishes a six-month schedule that shows the exact availability dates for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
The maximum payment amounts are the same as in the other 47 contiguous States. If your household size is four, you can receive from the USDA up to $975. An individual can collect up to $292. These maximum amounts are the same through September 30, 2025. Then, there will be a new maximum amount after the 2026 COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment).
