Combining all four states, about 348,400 people receive food stamps from SNAP. The average payments per household member per month for the four states range from as low as $183 to as high as $271.

Alaska and Hawaii are the only two states that have different amounts for SNAP benefits. In Alaska, the maximum monthly payment depends on where a resident lives, with the state split into three regions: Rural I, Rural II, and Urban.
