Iowa residents will collect payments from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for the next four days before the program wraps up for February.
In the Hawkeye State, the average payment per household member per month is $170. Approximately 9% of the population, or 278,800 people, receives food stamps in Iowa.
Iowa sends SNAP payments to recipients from the 1st through the 10th of every month. Food stamps will arrive based on the first letter of the household’s last name.
Households with last names starting with A through O should have received food stamp payments by Tuesday. Those with last names starting with P through Z should collect SNAP benefits over the next four days.
