There is some good news for Texas Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients: the dates for February payments have already been set.
One of the biggest states with a sizable population of food stamp recipients is Texas, which has a set monthly benefit distribution schedule.
The final digit of your Eligibility Determination Number (EDG), which is a distinct number given to every household upon program certification, determines the payment dates.
The state has established the delivery plan for those who are unsure of when their benefits will come in February.
Households whose EDG number ends with digits 1 through 9 will get payments during the first week of February, from the 1st to the 9th.
| Last Digit of EDG | Benefits Available On |
| 0 | February 1 |
| 1 | February 3 |
| 2 | February 5 |
| 3 | February 6 |
| 4 | February 7 |
| 5 | February 9 |
Depending on the final digit of their EDG number, households that were certified before to June 1, 2020, will typically receive their benefits between the first and the fifteenth of each month.
It’s crucial to remember that households accredited after June 1, 2020, experience the system differently. To find out the exact date of payment, it is advised to get in touch with your local SNAP office as these households are subject to a varied schedule.
This guarantees that beneficiaries are aware of when they can anticipate receiving their rewards and can make appropriate plans.
Depending on family size and home conditions, households may get a wide range of SNAP benefits in February.
If certain Texas households complete all the requirements, they can receive up to $1,756 in SNAP benefits for the fiscal year 2025.

Depending on their size and demands, smaller families will receive fewer amounts, but this is the maximum benefit for a large household.
| Household Size | Maximum Benefit | Minimum Benefit |

| 2 people | $536 | $364 |
| 3 people | $768 | $594 |
| 4 people | $975 | $726 |
| 5 people | $1,158 | $845 |
| 6 people | $1,390 | $1,018 |
| 7 people | $1,536 | $1,116 |
| 8 people | $1,756 | $1,317 |
| Each additional person | +$220 | – |
A family’s exact amount is determined by a number of variables, including income, living expenses, and any assets or resources the household may have.
The official “Your Texas Benefits” app, which can be downloaded on iOS and Android smartphones, is the simplest way to check your Lone Star card balance for people who wish to stay updated on their benefits.
You may quickly and easily check your balance and make sure you have the money you need when you need it with the help of the app. As an alternative, recipients can check their amount by calling the service number listed on the back of their Lone Star card.
Texas SNAP recipients can better manage their benefits, make sure they are getting the right amount, and prevent any surprises when payment dates arrive by monitoring these crucial details.
