Nevada households who have not received their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payment can expect it to arrive tomorrow before the program wraps up for August.
In the Silver State, food stamps were sent out beginning on Aug. 1 and will conclude on Thursday. While the dates will vary by household, SNAP recipients should receive their payments on the same day each month.

SNAP benefits in Nevada are sent out based on the birth year. Those with a birth year ending in "1" will receive their food stamps on the 1st of the month, "2" on the 2nd day of the month, and so on. Those with a birth year ending in "0" receive them on the 10th and final day of the program.
The maximum payment for a household of one in Nevada is $281. A household of four can receive up to $939, and a household of eight can collect a maximum of $1,691. An additional $211 is included for each person after eight.
Households that get food stamps "are expected to spend about 30 percent of their resources on food," according to the United States Department of Agriculture's website, so the SNAP benefit is calculated by multiplying the household's net income by 0.3 before deducting that number from the maximum payment for the household size.
For example, a four-person household with a net income of $1,093 will receive $611 for a full month.

The average payment per household member per month in Nevada is $178. Around 455,200 people, or 14% of the state's population, receive food stamps.
To receive SNAP benefits, Nevada residents must provide a valid Social Security card for every member of the household. Payments are then loaded onto an electronic benefit transfer card, which can be used as a debit card at participating grocery stores and retailers.
