Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and many citizens of the United States use part of their SNAP Food Stamps benefit to celebrate this day with their partner or family. Fortunately, some states send this benefit in February before February 14th arrives.
Even so, some other states will send the check anyway, just a few days later. The exact time of getting SNAP Food Stamps on the EBT card depends on several factors, but one determining factor is undoubtedly the state in which we live.
Unlike other benefits, such as Social Security, which has a federal calendar, the payment of SNAP Food Stamps has a state calendar. For that reason, some Americans who live in one state may enjoy this payment before others who live in a different state.
Who gets SNAP Food Stamps before Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day will be next Friday, February 14th, as usual. For that reason, if we have the money on the EBT card before that day, we can use it to do something special, as long as we plan to buy some of the products eligible for this benefit.

What is the maximum amount of SNAP Food Stamps in 2025?
The maximum SNAP Food Stamps payment is $292 for each eligible member. However, not all recipients of this benefit can receive such a high amount. It all depends on the personal situation.
If more than one member of the family is eligible for SNAP Food Stamps, each member can get up to $292. Even so, everything will depend on the family’s general situation and on their income and needs.
