In plain language
In Texas, SNAP food benefits are distributed to about 3.5 million people through the Lone Star Card. Payments for June 2026 are sent out on a staggered schedule based on the date your case was certified and your specific group number. These funds help low-income families buy healthy food like fruits, vegetables, and meat, but they cannot be used for things like alcohol, tobacco, or hot ready-to-eat meals. If you are unsure about your payment date, you can check your award letter or call 2-1-1 for help.
