SNAP, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, helps low-income families in Texas buy food. If you’re wondering about your July 2025 SNAP benefits—like when the payments will come, who can get them, and how much you might receive—this article explains everything in a simple way.
What Are SNAP Benefits?
SNAP is a program run by the U.S. government that gives money to people who need help buying groceries. In Texas, the program is managed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). The money is loaded on an electronic card called the Lone Star Card, which works like a debit card.
When Will SNAP July 2025 Payments Arrive in Texas?
SNAP benefits in Texas are paid between July 1 and July 28, depending on the last digit of your Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number. Each person gets their payment on a different day based on this number.
For example:
- If your EDG number ends in 0, your benefits may arrive on July 1.
- If it ends in 9, you might get your payment on July 28.
So, make sure to check your EDG number to know your exact payment date.
