If you live in Texas and receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), it’s time to note the important deposit dates for July 2025. Between July 7 and July 15, people with Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) numbers ending in 21 through 53 will receive their funds.
These payments are deposited directly into the Lone Star Card, and the date you receive the money depends on the last two digits of your case number.
This process is part of a regular system used by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to manage and distribute benefits smoothly.
Instead of sending all payments on the same day, the department spreads them out to avoid delays and technical issues. So, don’t worry if your friend receives their SNAP deposit on a different day than you—it all depends on your EDG number.
This year, the maximum SNAP allotments are already set and remain effective through September 2025. A single person can receive up to $291, while a family of eight can get as much as $1,756.
If a household has more than eight members, they can receive an additional $220 for each extra person. These amounts are based on federal guidelines and help low-income families buy food and basic necessities each month.
For those SNAP beneficiaries who were certified before June 1, 2020, payments are being issued from July 1 to July 15. The deposit date is decided by the last digit of the EDG number. For example, if your number ends in 0, your payment was sent on July 1. If it ends in 9, you will receive your benefit on July 15.
The full payment cycle continues until July 28 for newly approved or specially scheduled cases. If you are unsure of your exact payment date, check your EDG notice or visit the official Texas HHS website for more details.
July has also brought unfortunate news, with heavy flooding across Texas Hill Country on July 4th and 5th. The flood has claimed at least 80 lives, with many still missing. In response, people are now asking whether D-SNAP, the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, will be activated.
As of July 7, there has been no official D-SNAP announcement. However, considering the serious damage and loss, it is likely that help may be approved soon. Residents in affected areas are advised to watch the official HHSC website and news updates closely for the latest announcements.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has already declared a disaster across 20 counties, which could speed up the process for emergency food assistance.
D-SNAP provides short-term help to people who don’t usually qualify for SNAP but now need support due to disaster-related costs. For now, people should remain patient and prepared while the authorities complete their review and response.
Regular SNAP benefits will still be sent as scheduled, and the maximum amounts that a household can receive in Texas are clearly outlined. A household of one can receive $292, while two people can get up to $536.
A family of four may get $975, and eight members qualify for $1,756. For each additional person, $220 is added to the total allotment. These amounts help ensure that all households get enough to buy groceries each month.
For those applying for SNAP benefits in Texas, the fastest way to apply is through the official website, YourTexasBenefits.com. The online form takes about 20 to 40 minutes, especially if you already have your documents like ID proof, rent or mortgage details, and income statements.
If you face any issues while filling it out, or if you prefer to talk to someone, you can call 2-1-1 and press option 2. The customer care team speaks both English and Spanish and can guide you through the process without rushing you.
If you’re missing any documents while applying, don’t worry. You can upload the remaining documents later using the online portal. For those who want in-person help, visit your nearest Texas Health and Human Services office. You can use their office locator tool online by entering your zip code.
A quick tip: call ahead or reach early because lines can get long, especially in the middle of the month. Bring your phone charger, a book, and copies of your documents like bills or IDs. The staff can also scan documents for you, so it’s okay if you forget to upload them in advance.
