Montana’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is gearing up to distribute April’s payments, providing essential financial support to eligible households across the state.
Beginning on April 2 and spanning until April 6, recipients can expect their SNAP payments to be loaded onto their electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards.
Eligibility Criteria
Monthly SNAP benefits vary according to the size of the home; households headed by a single person can get up to $291, while households with eight or more members may be eligible for payments of up to $1,751 each month. Higher-than-eight-person households receive an additional $219 per person in funding.
The amount of money a single person must make each month to be eligible for SNAP assistance; for bigger households, the maximum is $4,214, while for single people, it is $1,215 each month.
As part of the program’s fundamental goals set forth by the 1964 Food Stamp Act, these payments are intended to reduce food insecurity and enhance nutrition among low-income individuals and families. At many participating sites, such as grocery stores and farmers markets, recipients can use their SNAP benefits.
