Colorado residents who receive benefits from the federal government through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, can expect to see payments in six days.

SNAP benefits are distributed starting on Aug. 1 and going through Aug. 10 in Colorado, and are sent out to beneficiaries based on the last digit of their Social Security number. For example, if a recipient’s SSN ends in a 1, their SNAP benefits will be available on the 1st of the month. If a recipient’s SSN ends in zero, payments will be allotted on the 10th of the month.

Colorado SNAP allotments will depend on a household's size, gross income, net income, and additional factors. The maximum payment for one person is $281 per month. The maximum payment for a four-person family is $939. A household of eight could receive a maximum payment of $1,691. For every additional member after that, the program will add a maximum of $211.

Those who receive SNAP benefits can use them through an EBT card, and the money can be used to buy eligible food items such as bread, fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry products, dairy items, and more. SNAP benefits cannot be used to purchase alcoholic products, pet food, household items such as soap and paper products, or other barred materials as outlined by the program.
