Household income determines eligibility. A single-person household cannot make more than $1,869 per month, and a five-person household cannot make more than $4,465 monthly to qualify.

SNAP payments in the Lone Star State are issued over the first 10 business days of each month, with the final September payment being issued on Sept. 15. The receipt date depends on a person's eligibility determination group number.

SNAP payments are loaded onto a Lone Star Card, an electronic benefit transfer card, and the funds are automatically loaded on the issuance date.

Texas has work rules in place for recipients ages 16-59. 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 in 1964 through the Food Stamp Act as one of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society programs. It is meant to increase the nutrition of low-income residents by supplementing their food costs.
