October 1st 2024 - Annual SNAP Updates for 2024-2025 SNAP Benefit and Income Limit Updates in South Carolina starting October 2024

Every year on October 1st, the federal government adjusts SNAP (food stamp) benefits to reflect changes in the cost of living and other important factors.

Here are some key changes:
  • Maximum Monthly Benefit Amounts: The highest amount a household can receive in SNAP benefits is updated. This amount depends on the size of your household.
  • Income Eligibility Standards: The income limits used to determine eligibility for SNAP benefits are updated based on changes in the federal poverty guidelines.
  • Deductions: Certain deductions, like the standard deduction and shelter cost deduction, which can reduce your countable income, are also updated.

The charts below list the before and after maximum benefits and monthly income limits for SNAP in South Carolina.
