The specific arrival date for SNAP payments depends on a household's Social Security number, case number, account number, or last name. Households can expect their payments to arrive on the same day each month, so those that received payments on July 3 can expect funds to arrive Thursday.
SNAP-participating households in Michigan received an increase in their food stamps due to the cost-of-living adjustments for fiscal 2023. Until Sept. 30, 48 states and Washington, D.C., (excluding Hawaii and Alaska) will receive the same maximum benefits.
In Michigan, the maximum payment is $281 for a household of one, $1,116 for a household of five, and $1,691 for a household of eight. An additional $211 is added as a maximum for each additional household member above eight.
