Texas SNAP: How It Works in the Lone Star State

In Texas, SNAP is managed by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). As of 2025, more than 3.2 million people in Texas receive SNAP benefits. The state applies gross income limits at 165% of the federal poverty level, and for most households, the asset limit is $5,000.

Special programs like the Texas Simplified Application Project (TSAP) make the process easier for elderly or disabled adults. SNAP payments are made using the Lone Star Card, a debit card used only for food. Payments are scheduled based on something called the Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number.

Texas has also focused on making SNAP services more accessible online through YourTexasBenefits.com, helping vulnerable families apply, track, and manage their benefits.

Florida SNAP: A Flexible System for a Mobile Population

In Florida, SNAP is overseen by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and supports 2.97 million people in 2025. Florida has more relaxed rules than Texas—there are no asset limits for most households, and income limits go up to 200% of the federal poverty level.

Florida also offers programs like SUNCAP, which automatically includes SSI (Supplemental Security Income) recipients. Payments are made using EBT cards, and distribution is staggered according to the case number.

The state’s ACCESS Florida website makes it easy for people to apply, check their status, and manage benefits online, offering convenience to mobile or seasonal workers.
