In Illinois, payments are sent out from Aug. 1 to Aug. 10. Older cases are sent out on Aug. 1 as well but continue until Aug. 20.
The payment date is generally the same month to month, so those who received their payment on July 5 can expect them to arrive on Aug. 5.
Approximately 1.98 million people, or 16% of the population, receive food stamps in the Prairie State. The average payment per household member per month is $189.
The maximum payment for a household of one is $281. A household of six members can receive a maximum of $1,339, and a household of 10 can collect a maximum payment of $2,113.
For households with over 10 people, an additional $211 is included for each person.

To receive SNAP benefits, households must meet certain citizenship criteria for the state. They must be a citizen of the United States or have qualified immigrant status for five years or more.
Immigrants who have not lived in the U.S. for five years could also qualify for benefits if they are pregnant women, children, or noncitizen adults with serious medical conditions.
