Here are the breakdowns of new benefit amounts based on family size from the USDA: USDA

Benefits paid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, are increasing Oct. 1.

The United States Department of Agriculture announced the increased COLA based on the rate of inflation. The year’s changes are based on the Consumer Price Index, or CPI, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for June 2022. Based on that data, SNAP benefits will increase by an average of slightly more than 3% for 12 months starting in October.

For a family of four, the COLA means benefits of $973 a month, up from the current $939.




Household size 1 - $291
Household size 2 - $535
Household size 3 - $766
Household size 4 - $973
Household size 5 - $1,155
Household size 6 - $1,386
Household size 7 - $1,532
Household size 8 - $1,751
Each additional person adds $219.
