The United States Department of Agriculture can issue SNAP payments of up to $292 if you are the only person in your household. On average, an individual can receive about $199 according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. New Mexico will be issuing SNAP payments through January 20, 2025.

For example, if your SSN ends in 14, 34, 54, 74, or 94, you will receive Food Stamps on January 7. January 8 will be when you get SNAP benefits if it ends in 04, 24, 44, 64, 84. Then, those SSNs ending in 5 follow. If it ends in 15, 35, 55, 75, or 95 they are due on January 9 and ending in 05, 25, 45, 65, 85 on Jan. 10, 2025.
