This is a convenient discussion on how much a family of 4 can expect to spend in each state. And for fun, keep these figures in mind: The highest possible SNAP benefit amount is $939 per month, or $11.2K. On the low end of the spectrum, benefits fall to $718 a month.

Unemployment, likewise, is a varied issie, but while one can receive benefits of $823 weekly (white-collar level careers) on MA, the lowest compensation is a mere $235 a week in FL, or $12.2K a year.
