The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will conclude its August payments to eligible Nevada residents in two days.
In the Battle Born State, SNAP payments were sent out beginning on Aug. 1 and will conclude on Thursday. While the dates will vary by household, SNAP recipients should receive their payments on the same day each month.

Payments are loaded onto an electronic benefit transfer card, which can be used similarly to a debit card at participating grocery stores and retailers.
The maximum payment for a household of one in Nevada is $281. A household of four can receive up to $939, and a household of eight can collect a maximum of $1,691. An additional $211 is included for each person after eight.
The average payment per household member per month in Nevada is $178. Around 455,200 people, or 14% of the state's population, receive food stamps.
To receive SNAP benefits, Nevada residents must provide a valid Social Security card for every member of the household.

Households that get food stamps "are expected to spend about 30 percent of their own resources on food," according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's website, so the SNAP benefit is calculated by multiplying the household's net income by 0.3 before deducting that number from the maximum payment for the household size.
For example, a four-person household with a net income of $1,093 will receive $611 for a full month.
