In Texas, this benefit is accessed through the Lone Star Card, similar to the EBT card used elsewhere in the United States. This card functions like a debit card and is accepted by any store that takes SNAP.
The program is designed to support those in low-income households, unemployed individuals, and adults without children aged 18 to 52. People in this last group may only receive benefits for up to three months within a three-year period unless they are enrolled in certain job or training programs.
However, this limitation does not apply to individuals with disabilities or pregnant women, who have other criteria for eligibility.
When are the SNAP Payments in Texas for the Upcoming Week of May?
SNAP benefits in Texas are given out from the 1st to the 28th of each month, based on a recipient's Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number. You can find this number on official SNAP documents.
Here’s when payments will be distributed:
- May 12: EDG Numbers 39-41
- May 13: EDG Numbers 42-45
- May 14: EDG Numbers 46-49

- May 16: EDG Numbers 54-57
- May 17: EDG Numbers 58-60

This schedule is for the week of May 12-18, 2025, and helps beneficiaries plan for when they'll receive their benefits.
