Are you waiting for your SNAP benefits in August 2025? SNAP, which stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, helps families and individuals with low or no income buy groceries each month.

This support comes from the U.S. government and is given using a special card you can swipe at most grocery stores.

Last year, over 40 million people in America got help from SNAP. So, when exactly in August 2025 will the money be added to your EBT card?

Each U.S. state has its own schedule, which means not everyone gets their SNAP money at the same time.

Some states give out the benefits on one day, while others spread them out over several days throughout the month. But everyone gets the full amount they're supposed to receive all at once.

Here are the dates when each state will send out SNAP benefits in August 2025:
 
  • Alabama: August 4 to 23
  • Alaska: August 1

As for how much money you can get from SNAP, it varies depending on how much money you make, your living situation, and whether you have a family to feed.

In most parts of America, a single person could get up to $292 per month, and a family of four could receive up to $975 per month. These numbers are bigger in places like Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories.

In 2023, the average SNAP benefit for a household was $332 a month, so you can have an idea of what to expect.

Remember, SNAP aims to help you afford healthy food, so you and your family can eat well and stay strong.
