Confirmed- Here’s How You Can Get Up To $1,756 Monthly With New SNAP Payments In 2025

In 2025, millions of Americans are seeing expanded support from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

With a monthly maximum benefit of $1,756, this program helps low-income individuals and families purchase nutritious food—and now, it’s more accessible than ever.

What’s the big update? For the first time, SNAP recipients can use their benefits online with major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Costco, offering more independence and flexibility for people who struggle to shop in person.

What Is SNAP and How Does It Work?

SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is a federal initiative that offers financial aid to purchase groceries.

The benefit is loaded monthly onto an EBT card (Electronic Benefit Transfer) that functions like a debit card.

You can use SNAP to buy food items such as:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Bread, milk, cheese
• Meat, poultry, and fish
• Grains, cereals, and baby formula

However, you cannot use SNAP for:

• Alcohol, cigarettes
• Hot/prepared meals
• Household supplies like soap, paper towels, or pet food

What’s New in 2025: SNAP Goes Online

In 2025, the U.S. government introduced a major upgrade: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits can now be used for online shopping. This expansion helps people who:

• Are elderly or disabled
• Live in remote or rural areas
• Lack access to transportation

You can now order groceries from home using your EBT card through platforms like:

Retailer	Service Offered
Amazon Fresh	Grocery delivery to your doorstep
Walmart	Delivery or in-store pickup
Target	Curbside pickup
