If you’re one of the millions of Texans depending on SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), your June 2025 payment is right around the corner—and some people will see their Lone Star Card loaded earlier than others. With the cost of groceries continuing to rise, it’s more important than ever to know exactly when those crucial benefits will hit your account. Whether you’re a longtime SNAP recipient or recently approved, we’ve got everything you need to know about the official Texas SNAP payment schedule for June—and what could delay your funds if you’re not prepared.
When Will I Get My June 2025 SNAP Benefits?
Texas doesn’t send SNAP payments on just one day. Instead, the state rolls out benefits between June 1 and June 28, depending on a few key details—specifically your Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number and the date your household was certified for benefits.
Here’s how it breaks down:
For Households Certified Before June 1, 2020
Your SNAP benefits are issued based on the last digit of your EDG number. Here’s your schedule:
-
EDG ends in 0 → June 1
-
EDG ends in 1 → June 3
-
EDG ends in 2 → June 5
-
EDG ends in 3 → June 6
-
EDG ends in 4 → June 7
-
EDG ends in 5 → June 9
-
EDG ends in 6 → June 11
-
EDG ends in 7 → June 12
-
EDG ends in 8 → June 13
-
EDG ends in 9 → June 15
For Households Certified On or After June 1, 2020
This group follows a slightly different rule: benefits are based on the last two digits of your EDG number, with staggered payments across the month. Here’s a partial breakdown:
-
00–03 → June 16
-
04–06 → June 17
-
07–10 → June 18
-
11–13 → June 19
-
14–17 → June 20
-
18–20 → June 21
-
21–24 → June 22
-
25–27 → June 23
-
28–31 → June 24
-
32–34 → June 25
-
35–38 → June 26
-
39–41 → June 27
-
42–45 → June 28
-
…and so on, up to EDGs ending in 99.
The state uses this staggered system to manage benefit distribution smoothly and avoid overloading their systems. It also helps reduce congestion at grocery stores and ATMs.
How Much Can I Get From SNAP in Texas?
SNAP benefit amounts depend on your household size and income. As of June 2025, the maximum monthly amounts are:
-
1 person: $292
-
2 people: $536
-
3 people: $768
-
4 people: $975
-
5 people: $1,157
-
6 people: $1,390
-
7 people: $1,536

These figures are adjusted periodically based on inflation and cost of living. They’re valid through September 30, 2025, unless Congress or the USDA makes further updates.
How Do I Use My Benefits?
Your SNAP funds are loaded onto the Lone Star Card, which works like a debit card. You can use it at most grocery stores, some farmers markets, and online retailers like Walmart and Amazon. If you’re new to the program, you’ll get instructions on how to activate and use the card when you’re approved.
