Arkansas Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
Attention Arkansas Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients! Get ready for your final payment for the month of September, which will be issued in just one day. SNAP payments, also known as food stamps, are a valuable resource provided to eligible low-income households to help purchase healthy groceries.
In Arkansas, SNAP benefits are distributed from September 4th to September 13th, following the program’s fiscal year schedule that runs from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023. The specific day when beneficiaries receive their funds depends on their Social Security number.
Discover Your SNAP Benefits
The amount you receive in SNAP benefits is determined by factors such as household size, income requirements, and other eligibility criteria. On average, each household member in Arkansas receives $170 per month. For a household of one, the maximum benefit amount is $281, while a household of four can receive up to $939. Larger households, like those with eight members, may qualify for a maximum benefit of $1,691, with an additional $211 for each additional member.
How to Use Your SNAP Benefits
Your SNAP payments will be loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card each month. This card can be used at participating grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and select online retailers. With SNAP, you can purchase essential food items like bread, dairy products, meat and poultry, and beverages.
However, please note that SNAP benefits cannot be used to buy pet food, alcohol, or household items such as soap and paper products.
