Food stamps, better known as the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), remain a vital source of income for millions of low-income individuals and families in the United States in 2025. The federal government is providing going households with up to $1,756 in monthly food stamp payments in an effort to ease the pain of rising food prices and higher living costs.
What are SNAP Benefits and Food Stamp Checks?
SNAP is a program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and funded federally. SNAP offers money for food to purchase to low-income individuals and families. Recipients are issued their monthly benefit on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that can be used like a debit card to spend at participating grocery stores and farmers’ markets.
For 2025, the highest SNAP benefit for a four-person household has been increased to $1,756 a month, based on income level, expenses, and family size.
Who’s Eligible for the $1,756 Food Stamp Checks?

Eligibility for SNAP is based on a number of factors. To qualify in 2025, applicants must have at least the following minimum requirements:
Income Limits:
Your household’s combined monthly income should generally be at or below 130% of the federal poverty guideline. For a family of four, this would be approximately $3,250 per month, though state- and family-size specific cutoffs differ.
Net Income:
Deducting such things as house payments, child care, and medical for elderly or disabled family members, your net income must be within SNAP guidelines.
Citizenship Status:
You need to be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen, like a lawful permanent resident (green card holder).
Work Requirements:
Able-bodied adults with no dependents (ABAWDs) aged 18–49 are required to work unless they are exempt on the grounds of age, disability, or other qualifying conditions.
Asset Limits:
In general, households need to have assets less than $2,750 (or $4,250 if the household includes a senior or disabled individual).
You can apply for SNAP benefits in person at your state SNAP office or on the online portal.
