The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Texas will begin its November payments, worth up to $1,751, in six days.

The Lone Star State distributes SNAP payments over the first 10 business days of each month. November's round of payments is scheduled to begin on Wednesday. The date recipients get their money depends on their eligibility determination group number.

Texas calculates its SNAP payment amounts based on household size. Single households receive $291, eight-member households receive $1,751, and families larger than eight are granted an extra $219 for every additional member, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Eligibility is determined by household income. To qualify, a single-person household cannot make more than $1,869 per month, and a five-person household cannot make more than $4,465.

Texas SNAP payments are loaded on a Lone Star Card that functions as an electronic benefits transfer card. The money is automatically loaded on the card on the issuance date.

Texas has work rules in place for recipients between the ages of 16 and 59. Participants must either work a job, actively seek one, or work in an approved work program, and recipients cannot quit their jobs without good reason.

SNAP was created as one of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society programs in 1964 through the Food Stamp Act. It is meant to increase the nutrition of low-income residents by supplementing their food costs.
