A single person get $200

A couple gets $350

With kids it is something like $75 per child. (I do not have kids so that may be off. but that is what I heard)

And people must remember that it is for the whole month. The card gets re-credited on a certain day of the month. And you MUST make it stretch for the whole month till it is your day again.

So you are looking. if a single, roughly $6.50 to eat three meals off of a day.
