In North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Vermont, the maximum payments are all the same. The maximum SNAP payment is $281 for a household of one, $939 for a household of four, and $1,691 for a household of eight. For additional household members, $211 is added.

Alaska and Hawaii are the only two states that have different amounts for SNAP benefits. In Alaska, the maximum monthly payment depends on where a resident lives, with the state split into three regions: Rural I, Rural II, and Urban.

Households of one can receive a maximum payment of $293 in Rural I, $357 in Rural II, and $230 for Urban. Households of eight can receive $1,762 for Rural I, $2,145 for Rural II, and $1,382 for Urban.
