The size of a household determines the amount received through the program. Single households receive $281, and eight-member households receive $1,691, according to Texas's Health and Human Services Commission website.

When recipients receive their payment depends on the last digit of their Eligibility Determination Group number. The funds are loaded onto a Lone Star Card, Texas's version of an EBT card.

Texas requires SNAP recipients to follow work rules for anyone aged 16-59. Participants must be either working in a job, actively seeking one, or working 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 caveats between each.
