Texas's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin sending out its August payments, worth up to $1,691, in 12 days.

Texan households with a low income that receive SNAP benefits will receive their payments by mid-August. The Lone Star State has a long window for distributing payments, with the payments being given out through the first 10 business days of every month.

The recipients' family size affects the size of the benefits. A single-person household will get $281, and an eight-member household will receive $1,691, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission website.

The last digit of a resident's Eligibility Determination Group number determines when they will receive their payments. While most states use EBT cards, Texas uses a Lone Star Card, which can be used like a credit card. The funds are loaded directly onto the card on the date of issuance.

Texans participating in the SNAP program ages 16-59 are subject to work rules. Participants must be either working in a job, actively seeking one, or working in another approved work program. To stay in the program, recipients cannot quit their job without good reason.

SNAP benefits can only be spent on food and nonalcoholic drinks. The program is active across all states and Washington, D.C.
