Take note of the following information if you are a recipient of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in the state of Texas: between the dates of July 7 and July 15, 2025, payments will be deposited for participants whose EDG numbers end in the range of 21 to 53.
The final two digits of your case number are used to determine the distribution of payments according to the regular timetable. Make sure that you double verify your EDG because each group is given a certain deposit date that is associated with their Lone Star Card.
Maximum allotments for this year have been determined. Households consisting of a single individual are eligible for a maximum of $291, while families consisting of eight eligible for $1,756 plus a further $220 for each additional member. The following are the federal limits that will remain in effect until September 2025.
Upcoming dates for SNAP recipients in Texas
Beginning on July 1st and continuing through July 15th, the deposits are distributed to those SNAP recipients who have been certified prior to June 1st, 2020. The final digit of your Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number is what determines the date that your certification will be issued. Let’s have a look at the following list of payments that are scheduled to be made in the days ahead:
- EDG ends in 0: Benefits available on the 1st
- EDG ends in 1: Benefits available on the 3rd
- EDG ends in 2: Benefits available on the 5th
- EDG ends in 3: Benefits available on the 6th
- EDG ends in 4: Benefits available on the 7th

Is it necessary to verify your date? Visit the website of the Texas Department of Health and Human Services or check the official notice that you received from the Eligibility Determination Group (EDG). Therefore, deposits will continue until the 28th since staggered payments assist prevent the system from becoming overloaded.
What about the recent flooding in Texas?
As a result of the devastating flooding that occurred in Hill Country on July 4 and 5, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of eighty people and the disappearance of dozens more, many people are inquiring about the D-SNAP program, which is an emergency food distribution program. No official activation has been announced as of the 7th of July; but, due to the magnitude of the tragedy, approval is likely to be granted in the near future. Those who are affected should keep an eye on the official information provided by HHSC.
A catastrophe has been declared throughout twenty counties by Governor Greg Abbott, which could expedite the delivery of assistance programs. If a person has expenses that are due to a disaster, they are eligible for D-SNAP, which offers temporary assistance to those who would not normally qualify for SNAP. For the time being, it is still pending.
Continuing to be distributed are the regular SNAP benefits, and the following is a list of the maximum amounts that a household in the state of Texas is eligible to receive (provided that they meet the requirements):
- 1 person: $292
- 2 people: $536
- 3 people: $768
- 4 people: $975
- 5 people: $1,158
- 6 people: $1,390
- 7 people: $1,536
- 8 people: $1,756
- Each additional person: Add $220
