People will start receiving more money to combat the price of food rising during COVID-19.
The maximum benefit is going up 5.3% as of Thursday, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.
The bump is based on the average cost of a USDA-designed food plan in the preceding June.
Nearly all states have opted to provide food stamp beneficiaries the maximum benefit for their household size, which was authorized by Congress in a coronavirus rescue bill in mid-March.
Recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, will likely see the increase starting this month.
