Maine’s January SNAP benefits, worth up to $1,751, expire in 48 hours
Maine Residents to Receive SNAP Benefits in Two Days
Maine residents who are in need of financial assistance for grocery purchases through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can expect to receive their benefits within the next two days. This is a timely provision as the program wraps up for the month of January.
SNAP benefits are specifically designed to support low-income individuals and families in Maine. The distribution of benefits occurs between January 10th and January 14th, with the exact payment date depending on the recipient’s date of birth.
Payment Schedule:
- Beneficiaries born on days ending in 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, or 9 should have already received their benefits by Friday.
- Those born on days ending in 4 or 7 can expect their benefits on Saturday.
- Recipients born on days ending in 5 or 6 will receive their monthly benefits on Sunday.
The maximum benefit amounts vary based on household size. For example, a household of one can receive up to $291, while a household of five can receive up to $1,155. Larger households, such as those with eight members, may receive a maximum of $1,751. Additional individuals beyond eight can receive up to $219 each. These amounts are determined by the recent cost-of-living adjustments for the 2023-24 period.
The SNAP benefits are conveniently loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card. Recipients can use this card at grocery stores to purchase eligible food items, including fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, poultry, and beverages. However, it’s important to note that SNAP benefits cannot be used to buy non-food items such as pet food, alcohol, paper products, or soap.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, approximately 161,800 people in Maine, which accounts for around 12% of the state’s population, currently receive SNAP benefits.
