With rising food prices across the United States, government food assistance programs like SNAP and Sun Bucks are more essential than ever in 2025.
If you’re wondering whether you qualify for up to $292 in SNAP or $120 through Sun Bucks, here’s a detailed breakdown of eligibility, benefits, and what you need to know.
What Is SNAP and Who Qualifies in 2025?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, offers monthly benefits to low-income families, seniors, and individuals to help cover food costs.
Administered by the USDA, each state manages its own SNAP application process.
To qualify for SNAP in June 2025, households must meet income, resource, and sometimes work requirements.
Income & Resource Limits for SNAP (June 2025)
Here’s a quick overview of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program gross and net monthly income limits, along with allowable countable resources.
| Household Size | Gross Monthly Income (130% Poverty) | Net Monthly Income (100% Poverty) | Resource Limit (Under 60) | Resource Limit (60+/Disabled) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Person | $1,632 | $1,255 | $3,000 | $4,500 |
| 2 People | $2,215 | $1,704 | $3,000 | $4,500 |

| 4 People | $3,380 | $2,600 | $3,000 | $4,500 |
Note: Countable resources include money in bank accounts and cash on hand, but not your primary home or car. If someone in your household receives SSI, those resources may also be excluded.
Work Requirement for SNAP Recipients Aged 18–54
If you’re aged 18 to 54 and not exempt due to disability or caregiving, you must work at least 20 hours per week or participate in a qualified work program to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for more than 3 months in a 3-year period.
How Much Can You Get from SNAP in 2025?
The amount you receive depends on your household size and financial situation. For example:
- A 4-person household could receive up to $975 per month in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
- An individual might receive up to $291 per month depending on their income.
What Are Sun Bucks and Who Qualifies in 2025?
Sun Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, provide food benefits to children who qualify for free or reduced-price meals during the school year.
Unlike Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, most families do not need to apply separately for Sun Bucks—eligibility is often automatic if your child receives:
- Free or reduced-price school meals
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, TANF, or FDPIR benefits
In Summer 2025, Sun Bucks offer $40 per month per eligible child for June, July, and August, totaling $120.
Can You Receive Both SNAP and Sun Bucks in 2025?
Yes. If you’re a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipient and your child meets the requirements for Sun Bucks, you can receive both benefits. In fact, some children receive Sun Bucks through their family’s SNAP EBT card, while others may get a separate card.
This combined assistance can be a significant help during the summer months when school-provided meals are unavailable.
How Are Payments Delivered?
- SNAP benefits are deposited monthly onto a state-issued EBT card.
- Sun Bucks may be loaded onto your existing EBT card or issued via a separate card sent by mail.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Sun Bucks offer critical relief for families and individuals facing food insecurity in 2025.
With up to $292 from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and $120 from Sun Bucks, eligible households can ease their grocery burdens this summer. Check your qualifications today and ensure you’re getting the help you deserve.
