Millions of Americans continue to rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) each month to help cover the cost of groceries. As of June 2025, eligible individuals and households can still receive up to $292 per person depending on their income, household size, and location.
While the maximum benefits have remained largely stable since the October 2024 cost-of-living adjustment, the actual amount received varies widely based on individual financial circumstances.
What Is the SNAP Benefit and How Much Can You Get in June 2025?
SNAP is a federally funded program designed to provide monthly assistance to low-income individuals and families to buy nutritious food. The funds are distributed electronically each month through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which can be used like a debit card at approved food retailers, grocery stores, and farmers’ markets.
The maximum monthly benefit for a single individual in the 48 contiguous states and D.C. remains at $291, but some eligible individuals may receive up to $292 if additional rounding or state-specific supplements apply. Larger households naturally receive more, but the benefits decrease as total income increases.
Eligibility Requirements to Get SNAP in June 2025
To receive SNAP benefits, you must meet the federal income and resource limits, which are reviewed annually. Eligibility factors include:
- Gross monthly income must generally be at or below 130% of the federal poverty level.
- Net income must be at or below 100% of the federal poverty line.
- Assets must not exceed $2,750 for most households, or $4,250 for those with an elderly or disabled member.
- You must be a U.S. citizen or meet qualified non-citizen criteria.
- Work registration or participation in employment and training may be required for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs).
Special exemptions apply for seniors, people with disabilities, and those receiving SSI or other federal assistance.

Who Can Still Get Benefits in June 2025?
Most SNAP recipients will continue receiving their monthly benefits automatically in June as long as they remain eligible. If you’ve had a change in income, household composition, or employment status, you should update your information with your state’s SNAP office to avoid delays or benefit reductions.
New applicants can still apply in June and may receive expedited benefits within 7 days if they meet emergency criteria. State agencies typically require income verification, ID, and proof of residency.
