Texas SNAP Benefits: The number of Texas residents eligible for SNAP or EBT benefits increased dramatically in 2023. The rising cost of living and modifications in eligibility requirements have contributed to this upward trend.
If you missed the 2023 eligibility requirements, you may be eligible in 2024, so we advise you to stay updated on changes and consider reapplying if necessary.
In Texas, substantial modifications are imminent concerning the SNAP program in 2024. Significant modifications have been made to the age requirements. Currently, to qualify for benefits, able-bodied individuals between the ages of 51 and 52 must demonstrate active employment, training, or school attendance.
Homeless individuals, veterans, expectant women, foster children under 18, and disabled people are exempt from the regulation.

In 2024, will Texas receive additional SNAP benefits?
Household income is a critical factor in the determination of eligibility for SNAP benefits. Commencing in October 2024, the maximum monthly total income threshold will fluctuate based on the household’s household count. A monthly income for a household of eight can reach $5,478, while a household of one can earn up to $1,580.
Texas families relying on SNAP will face an increase in their allocation for 2024 due to household size adjustments. Beneficiaries must remain informed about the ever-changing criteria and requirements to maintain their eligibility and access to essential support.
Again, we are tired of state elected officials talking about wedge issues instead of focusing on the real issues impacting our state:
