The amount received depends on the size of a family. A single household will get $281, and an eight-member household will receive $1,691, according to Texas's Health and Human Services Commission website.

When recipients will receive their payment depends on the last digit of their Eligibility Determination Group number. The funds will be deposited on a Lone Star Card, which can then be used like a credit card.

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 can only be spent on food and nonalcoholic drinks. SNAP is active across all states and Washington, D.C., with benefits being loaded on cards reminiscent of Texas's Lone Star Card.
