SNAP payment amounts in Texas depend on the household size of recipients — single households receive $281, and eight-member households receive $1,691, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission website. Families larger than eight are granted $211 more for each additional member.
SNAP payments in the Lone Star State are issued over the first 10 business days of each month, and the receipt date depends on a person’s eligibility determination group number. Recipients who haven’t received their benefits can expect them over the next 11 days.
The funds are loaded onto a Lone Star Card, which functions as an electronic benefit transfer card. The funds are automatically loaded onto the card on the issuance date.
Texas has work rules in place for recipients ages 16-59. Participants must either work a job, actively seek one, or work in an approved work program. Recipients cannot quit their job without good reason.
