$104/month
This is how much the average older adult living alone receives in SNAP benefits per month.
This program gives you a debit card with money on it to help you and your family buy food. The program adds money to your card each month. The amount of money you get depends on three things:
- If you get money from a job or a federal program like Social Security
- How many people live with you
- Where you live
You can use the card at most grocery stores and farmers markets.
