Good news for SNAP recipients: families of four can expect to receive up to $975 in benefits during the mid-to-late July 2025 disbursement window.
With the rising cost of groceries and household essentials, this upcoming payment offers crucial relief for millions of Americans relying on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
According to feedback from NewsBreak readers, many families are closely monitoring the July payment schedule to ensure their budgets stay on track. Here’s what you need to know:
Who Qualifies for the $975 SNAP Payment?
The $975 figure applies to households of four that qualify for the maximum SNAP benefit amount, based on income level, household size, and state guidelines. Eligibility is determined by both federal and state agencies, and actual payment amounts may vary depending on circumstances.
When Will July SNAP Benefits Be Distributed?
Each state has its own SNAP disbursement schedule. However, most states will issue July benefits between the 10th and the 28th, based on:
- The last digit of your case number
- Your Social Security number
- Or a specific EBT issuance cycle set by the state
NewsBreak readers have reported that some states release payments earlier in the month, while others stretch distribution into the final week of July. It’s important to check your state’s specific schedule to know exactly when your funds will be available.
How to Check Your Payment Date
To confirm your exact payment date, you can:
- Visit your state’s SNAP program website
- Log into your EBT card portal or mobile app
- Call the customer service number on the back of your EBT card
Staying informed helps avoid missed purchases or surprise delays, especially when bills and grocery needs stack up mid-month.
What Readers Are Saying
Many NewsBreak users have shared relief and gratitude in the comments:
“That $975 really helps stretch my food budget. July can be a tough month for us.”

If your family of four qualifies for the maximum benefit, your $975 July SNAP payment should arrive sometime between mid- and late July. Keep an eye on your EBT balance, and double-check your state’s disbursement calendar for peace of mind.
