Maryland residents eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will receive a payment worth up to $1,691 by tomorrow.

SNAP payments are issued to Maryland recipients beginning on Friday and continue until Aug. 23. A household will receive its payment based on its account number, case number, Social Security number, or last name. Food stamps are usually issued to a household on the same day each month, so those who received a payment on July 4 can expect the payment on Aug. 4.

In Maryland, a maximum of $740 is sent to a household of three and $1,691 for a household of eight. The program adds up to $211 for each additional member past eight. The average payment per household member for each month is $180.

Almost 800,000 people, or roughly 13% of Maryland's population, receive food stamps in the state.

Food stamps are reloaded each month on an electronic benefit transfer card, which is similar to a debit card. Food stamps can be used at participating grocery stores, farmers markets, or some online retailers.

In Maryland, the payments are intended for "food and for plants and seeds to grow food for your household to eat,” according to the state's Department of Human Services. Food stamps cannot be used for nonfood items, alcohol, medicines, tobacco, or “hot foods that are ready to eat.”
