Handed out monthly, and your monthly allotment should be maximized for a married couple with 1 child. The household allotment should get smaller with each additional family member.

What gets me is that Food Stamps/SNAP are allotted to feed the whole family for a month. But the kids get free breakfasts and lunches at school during the school year and everyone who looks to be under 18 gets a free meal during the summer. These extra meals are not deducted from the SNAP allotment. And now many school districts provide ‘backpacks’ of food so kids don’t go hungry over the weekends.
Many recipients have figured ways to trade their SNAP benefits for things that SNAP won’t pay for: alcohol, drugs, and smokes.
