The exact timing of your payment depends on the last digit of your Eligibility Determination Group number.<\/p>\n<h3>How Much Will You Receive?<\/h3>\n<p>The amount you receive in SNAP benefits depends on the size of your family. For example, a single household will receive $281, while an eight-member household will receive the maximum amount of $1,691. These figures are according to Texas&#8217;s Health and Human Services website.<\/p>\n<h3>How Can You Use the Benefits?<\/h3>\n<p>Once the funds are deposited, you will receive a Lone Star Card, which functions like a credit card. However, it can only be used to purchase food and drink.
