With August winding down, there are residents in 19 <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">states</a> and territories who should expect to see their <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/food-stamps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">food stamp</a> benefits by this Sunday.

The funds, worth up to $1,751 for a household of eight, will be uploaded to an Electronic Benefits Transfer card, which functions as a debit card and can be used at any supermarket or grocery store that accepts the benefits. To qualify for SNAP, a household income must be at or below&nbsp;130% of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/poverty/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">poverty line</a>&nbsp;— $2,072 per month or $32,328 per year. Benefits are distributed over a one-year period.

States do not distribute the funds all in one day, as some do it over the course of the month.

An individual recipient is eligible to receive a monthly allotment of $291.

Each state, district, and territory manages and distributes the benefits differently. Some of them make payments depending on a claimant’s given number, and others pay them out according to the first letter of the claimant’s last name.

Here are the states that will send benefits to recipients this week:
