If you are waiting to get your December SNAP Food Stamps check, you should know that on the 1st of the month you could have this benefit available almost anywhere in the United States. Remember that each state sends this benefit independently.
Therefore, this check has a different schedule than others, such as Social Security, where all payments arrive in the same way to all beneficiaries of the different groups. In the case of SNAP Food Stamps, the date of birth and other personal information is the same.
The important thing for this benefit is to have it accepted and to check the mailing days of the State in which you live. As each state sends payments on different days, we may find that some citizens have had their checks for some time and others have not yet cashed them.
That is why it is so important to take a good look at the list of the States that will be sending checks soon, which will allow us to organize our household economy in the best possible way.
WHICH STATES WILL SEND THE SNAP FOOD STAMPS THIS WEEK?
Although this list includes states that will send SNAP Food Stamps checks this week, this does not mean that all the checks will reach their beneficiaries on the same day. It is important to know that some states have several different days to send these payments and that depending on various personal information they may send checks earlier or later.

As you can see from the list, the only states that will not be sending SNAP Food Stamps checks on the 1st of the month are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Utah.
So if we live in one of these states we may not get a check on this day, but living in the other states does not mean 100% that we will have a check available. We may get it on the 1st, but the SNAP Food Stamps may arrive a little later. The best way to check this information is to look at your EBT card balance.
