NextImg:Food stamps: Vermont January SNAP benefits worth up to $1,751 arrive in four days

Vermont residents who receive assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will collect a payment from the program in four days.

While most states send out SNAP payments on a rolling basis throughout the month, Vermont sends food stamps out to every SNAP-participating household on the 1st of the month.

A household of one can receive a maximum amount of $291, a household of five can receive a maximum of $1,155, and a household of eight can receive a maximum of $1,751. A household can receive a maximum of $219 for each additional person.

SNAP benefit recipients will see the amount transferred to a prepaid electronic benefits transfer card. In Vermont, the EBT card is called the Vermont Express Card.

The Express Card works similarly to a debit card and can be used at grocery stores and farmers markets or at some online retailers. The money is intended for purchasing groceries, snacks, fresh food, seeds, and plants. SNAP benefits cannot be used to purchase nonfood household items, tobacco products, alcohol, pet food, or prepared foods.

Around 11% of the population, 69,500 people, receive SNAP benefits in Vermont. The average payment per household member per month is $188.
