If you’re receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in Texas, this is an important week for you. Between July 7 and July 15, 2025, funds will be deposited for recipients based on the last two digits of their Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number.
So, check your EDG number to find out when to expect your payment. These payments will be loaded onto your Lone Star Card, allowing you to access your benefits.

These amounts are the federal caps that will remain in effect through September 2025, providing assistance to many households in need.

What About D-SNAP for Texas Flood Victims?
Due to the recent catastrophic flooding in Hill Country (July 4-5, 2025), many are wondering about the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP).
While no formal activation of D-SNAP has been announced as of July 7, the disaster’s severity suggests that it could be approved soon. D-SNAP is a temporary food aid program for individuals who don’t normally qualify for SNAP but have incurred disaster-related expenses. Governor Greg Abbott has declared a disaster across 20 counties, which may fast-track assistance.
For now, regular SNAP benefits are still being disbursed. Affected residents should monitor official updates from the HHSC regarding D-SNAP approval.
