How much are food stamps per person in Florida in 2023?
The monthly SNAP benefits one receives depend on household size and meeting eligibility criteria. For a single person, the maximum benefit is $281 per month, while a family of four in Florida could receive up to $939 per month in 2023.
It is critical to keep in mind that these figures represent maximum potential benefits and that the actual amount received is influenced by income and deductions.
