Every new month that begins in the United States means that new checks for financial help, such as SNAP food stamps, are on their way. However, there are some checks that we don’t need to be at the beginning of the month to get. And this is precisely the case of these Food Stamps benefits.
While it is true that SNAP Food Stamps recipients can get payment at the beginning of the month, it is also true that they can cash checks throughout the weeks. In this regard, each State sends out payments for this benefit on different days. It is not like Social Security checks that all Americans across the country can get them on the same day.
Each and every State in the United States has a different schedule for payment of SNAP Food Stamps. So just by checking your state’s calendar, you will be able to know if your October check will be available this week. Still, Americans waiting for Food Stamps who don’t get them this week need not worry.
There is still plenty of time left in October and, therefore, there is room for each state to send the checks. But in the event that our state has already sent out all the SNAP checks we may have to claim the payment if we don’t have it yet.
SNAP FOOD STAMPS PAYMENTS THIS OCTOBER WEEK
In order to know perfectly when we will get each of our SNAP Food Stamps payments we are going to check the complete payment schedule for the entire month. This way we will be able to simply check our State and see what the range of days of the month is in which it sends checks.
Likewise, this calendar is really useful to also know what the payments are not only in this week, but also in the following week. With a simple glance at the payment days of our state we will have enough to know an approximate day of the collection of this benefit.

As you can see, each state has different dates for sending payments. The last day we would be able to get SNAP Food Stamps would be October 28. After that, we would have to wait until November to receive a new payment of this benefit.
The best way to determine whether or not you have already received the benefit is to check your EBT card. Usually, at the moment the State sends the payment of this benefit, the money appears available. Therefore, the best method is to check this through the card.
