In October, most states provided their monthly SNAP payouts. This is why millions of Americans are waiting for their food stamps. Although the maximum payout for an 8-person household is $1,756 after COLA in the 48 contiguous states, Alaska will send the highest payments.
Not only will Alaska send larger payments, but so will Hawaii, Guam, and the United States Virgin Islands due to their higher cost of living. The COLA did not result in adjustments in amounts, and recipients in Hawaii received a cut instead. As a result, people are quite disappointed with the new 2025 COLA.
New SNAP Payouts in the United States Following Halloween
Depending on where you reside, you may receive a Food Stamp payment earlier or later in the month. For example, Alaskans will receive their money on EBT cards first. Florida and Texas will continue to send rewards until the 28th.
