NextImg:Food stamps: Direct payments for August worth up to $1,691 in Texas to begin in six days

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Texas will begin August payments worth up to $1,691 in six days.

Recipients of the program are on track to receive their payments by the middle of August. The Lone Star State's SNAP program issues payments through the first 10 business days of the month, with the receiving date depending on a person's Eligibility Determination Group number.

The payment amounts depend 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. For families that are larger, $211 is added for each additional household member.

Eligibility depends on the household's income. A single-person household cannot make more than $1,869 per month, while a five-person household cannot make more than $4,465.

The funds are loaded onto a Lone Star Card, which functions as an EBT card. The funds are automatically loaded onto the card on the issuance date.

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 program.
