Texas's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin issuing August payments worth up to $1,691 in one week.

Payments vary depending on recipients' household size — single households receive $281, and eight-member households receive $1,691, according to Texas's Health and Human Services Commission website.

HOW BAD WOULD A UPS STRIKE BE FOR THE ECONOMY?

Recipients of the program are slated to receive their payments by the middle of August. Texas's SNAP issues payments through the first 10 business days of the month, with the issuance date depending on a person's Eligibility Determination Group number.

The funds are loaded onto a Lone Star Card, which functions as an EBT card. The payment occurs automatically, so those with a Lone Star Card need not take any further action.

Texas has work rules in place for recipients aged 16-59. Participants must either work in a job, actively seek one, or work in an approved work program. Recipients cannot quit their job without good reason.

SNAP benefits can only be spent on food and nonalcoholic drinks. SNAP is active across all states and Washington, D.C., with slight differences between each.
