Texas SNAP Benefits for September 2025: Easy Guide

If you live in Texas and need help paying for groceries, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can help. SNAP benefits are given each month on a Lone Star Card, which works like a debit card at stores.
 

When Will You Get SNAP Benefits?

In Texas, SNAP benefits are paid out across several days each month, depending on the last digit of your case number. For September 2025, here’s how the schedule looks:
 

• If your case number ends in 5, your benefits will arrive on Tuesday, September 9.
• If it ends in 6, you will receive them on Thursday, September 11.
• If it ends in 7, expect them on Friday, September 12.
• If it ends in 8, look for your payment on Saturday, September 13.

Other case numbers have different dates, usually between the 1st and the 28th of the month.
 

How Much Can You Get from SNAP?

The amount of SNAP benefits each family receives depends on several things, including household size, total monthly income, and important expenses such as rent and bills.

For example, a single person can receive up to $291 each month for food. If there are two people in your household, you could get up to $535 monthly.

Larger families will get more: three people can receive up to $766, four people up to $973, five people up to $1,155, six people up to $1,386, seven people up to $1,532, and eight people up to $1,751.

If you have more than eight people in your household, you could get an extra $219 per person.

It’s important to remember that most families receive less than the maximum, because the program takes into account your budget and aims to supplement what you already spend on groceries.
