SNAP Payment Dates by State

States confirmed so far

Your first month can be different. In Texas, a first, pro-rated amount and the next month’s benefits may come as one deposit (B-251). In Florida, new and expedited approvals are paid outside the schedule in their first month, and people who applied after the 15th may get two months at once (3210.0202 and 3210.0204). After that, benefits arrive on your regular day.

North Carolina: SNAP (FNS) deposit day by SSN

NCDHHS says the day stays the same even on a weekend or holiday, and benefits come on the 3rd if you have no Social Security number. Source: NCDHHS Food and Nutrition Services, “When will I get my benefits?”

Texas: SNAP deposit day by EDG number

HHSC says households certified before May 1, 2023 keep the schedule they already had, unless benefits stopped for at least six months and they reapplied after that date. Your EDG number is on your HHSC notices. Source: Texas Works Handbook B-251, Monthly Benefit Issuance Schedule.

Your state is not listed?

We list a state only after reading its schedule on the agency’s own page. Until then, your approval notice and your EBT card’s balance app or phone line show your deposit date. To see whether your household may qualify and roughly how much SNAP pays, read our SNAP eligibility guide.

What we could not verify

• Georgia: the only schedule we found on DFCS’s site is a 2019 press release, so we do not repeat it as current.
• Florida and Arizona day tables: the agencies publish the rule (which digits or which name) but not the day for each value on the pages we read.
• Texas weekends: the handbook gives the day of the month but does not say what happens when it falls on a weekend.
