Texas SNAP Payment Schedule: Who Receives Benefits in the Final Week of February 2025?
A federal government program called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, assists people in purchasing nutritious food to keep themselves healthy.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is in charge of SNAP benefits, and the government agency Health and Human Services in Texas handles the unique requirements of citizens.
Monthly benefits will be paid to eligible SNAP recipients in Texas via an Electronic Banking Transfer (EBT) card, sometimes referred to as the Lone Star Card in Texas, which functions similarly to a debit or credit card.
As long as they are not hot products, you can purchase essential foods like fruits, vegetables, fats, proteins, and carbs using SNAP benefits via the EBT card. However, keep in mind that you are not allowed to use it to pay for tobacco, alcohol, or other services, or to settle unpaid bills.
The program is available to low-income households and unemployed individuals, while there are restrictions for those aged 18 to 52, including time limits on SNAP benefits and the requirement to look for employment. It should be noted that pregnant and disabled women are exempt from these.
