The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin sending out its August payments in Texas, worth up to $1,691, in 11 days.
The Lone Star State distributes payments for roughly the first half of every month, with benefits going out through the first 10 business days. The cycle is set to begin again on Aug. 1.

As in every state, Texas's program bases the amount given on recipients' household sizes. Single recipients will get $281, while an eight-person household will receive $1,691, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission website.
Dates for distribution are based on recipients' Eligibility Determination Group number, which users should have already. The payments are directly loaded onto a Lone Star Card, Texas's alternative to an EBT card, which can be used like a credit card.

Texans participating in the SNAP program ages 16-59 are subject to work rules. Participants must be either working in a job, actively seeking one, or working in another approved work program. To stay in the program, recipients cannot quit their job without good reason.
SNAP benefits are only to be spent on food and nonalcoholic drinks. The program is active across all states and Washington, D.C.
