SNAP Benefits in Texas: with Food Stamps Worth Up to $1,756 July 1-28

Thousands of families receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits in Texas during July 2025 are set to get relief once again. This plan has been launched especially for those who live on limited income and struggle to meet their daily needs. This month, eligible families can get up to $1,756 in food stamp assistance, which will help them buy essential items at approved stores or farmers markets.

Remaining June benefits valid in July as well

Beneficiaries whose Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number falls in 42-45, 50-53 or 96-99 have recently received their last SNAP payments for June. If you haven’t checked your Lone Star Card balance yet, it’s high time you did. Note that benefits received in June, if not spent, can be used in July as well. This flexibility provides more convenience to beneficiaries.

SNAP Payments in July: Split Schedule in Two Parts

SNAP benefits in July are issued in two phases, based on the date your eligibility was confirmed:

2. Phase 2 (July 16 to 28): This is for those who certified after June 1, 2020.

First Phase: Payment Dates for Beneficiaries Certified Before 1st June 2020

How to use SNAP benefits correctly?

SNAP assistance is provided only for food and nutrition-related purchases. Beneficiaries should keep in mind that they should use these funds only in authorized stores or local farmers markets. Using SNAP cards for any other type of purchase will be considered a violation of the rules.

Also, those who have unused benefits from the old month are advised to use them as soon as possible so that they do not expire.

Conclusion: A strong link of financial support

The issue of Food Stamps in July 2025 is a relief to the people of Texas who make up millions of people. This program does not only assist the needy in collecting good food to sustain their families, but also guarantees them mental stability and economic stability.

As a SNAP beneficiary, you need to make sure that you have the right eligibility, the payment date, and update your Lone Star Card-related information occasionally. This help can provide a positive change in your life, once an appropriate information and planning are chosen.
