The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Texas is set to begin distributing benefits for July 2025. With nearly 3.4 million households across the state relying on this crucial support, the timeline for disbursements is essential to ensuring that families can meet their nutritional needs.
The state’s schedule, based on the last digit of each recipient’s eligibility number, will run throughout the month, beginning on the 1st of July. For many Texans, SNAP benefits provide vital assistance for purchasing food. Texas administers one of the largest SNAP programs in the country, and the state has established a clear, orderly disbursement timeline.
Understanding when benefits will be available is key to managing household budgets effectively. With the full 2025 schedule now public, residents can plan accordingly for the upcoming month.

This schedule ensures that recipients know when to expect their benefits and can plan grocery shopping and other necessities accordingly. With over three million Texans eligible, the program is a lifeline for many households, especially in the summer months when costs can rise.
Eligibility and Payment Limits for 2025
In order to qualify for SNAP benefits in Texas, households must meet specific income and resource requirements. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), applicants must have a gross income no higher than 130% of the federal poverty level.
For instance, a one-person household in Texas can earn a gross income of up to $1,632 per month to qualify. Additionally, households must meet resource limits, which are set at $3,000, or $4,500 for households with members over 60 or with disabilities.
The maximum amount a household can receive in SNAP benefits depends on its size. For example, a household of one person can receive up to $292 in benefits, while a household of eight people can receive a maximum of $1,756. Each additional household member beyond eight adds $220 to the maximum allowable benefit.
