Texas's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin issuing August payments worth up to $1,691 in 14 days.

Eligible low-income households of those living in the state who receive SNAP benefits will receive their payments by the middle of August. Texas has a long window for issuing payments, with benefits being handed out through the first 10 business days of every month.

Family size determines the amount received. A single household will get just $281, while an eight-member household will receive $1,691, according to Texas's Health and Human Services Commission website.

The date of issuance depends on the last digit of people's Eligibility Determination Group number. The funds will be deposited on a Lone Star Card, which operates like a credit card.

To qualify and remain in the SNAP program, recipients ages 16-59 must also follow work rules. Participants must be either working in a job, actively seeking one, or working in another approved work program. Recipients cannot quit their job without good reason.

SNAP benefits are forbidden from being spent on anything except food and nonalcoholic drinks. The program is active across all states and Washington, D.C., with benefits being loaded on cards reminiscent of Texas's Lone Star Card.
