One of the big differences between SNAP Food Stamps payments in the United States and other benefits is the payment schedule. The fact is that the checks for food have a different schedule in each state. Thus, a beneficiary in one state may have collected the money while another state does not yet have it available.
Even so, it is true that in most States the payment schedule starts early in the month, but it is also true that it could be delayed until almost the end of the month. The important thing to know is that SNAP Food Stamps money gets to all your recipients with no exceptions.
So if you have an accepted SNAP Food Stamps benefit you should check your EBT card to see if you have gotten the money. If you haven’t gotten it yet, it’s a good idea to check your state’s payment schedule. There you can find out by what day you might get a check in March.
