Those who applied and were approved for SNAP benefits will see the amount transferred to a prepaid electronic benefit transfer card. The EBT card works like a debit card that can be used at grocery stores and farmers markets or at some retailers online, and the money is intended for purchasing healthy foods.
SNAP benefits are calculated based on household income and size. The recipient’s household income generally must be at or below 130% of the poverty line. In fiscal 2023, the poverty line used to calculate SNAP benefits is $1,920 a month.
