250 food stamps, also known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, are a form of government assistance that provides monthly benefits to low-income individuals and families to help them purchase food.
The amount of SNAP benefits a household receives is based on its income and household size, and the maximum monthly benefit for a household of four is $835. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase food at authorized retail stores, and they can also be used to purchase seeds and plants that produce food.
