Although in the month of December all States in the United States send the corresponding SNAP Food Stamps checks to their recipients, some States have already paid all of the checks and therefore will not send new payments until next month.
This does not mean that if you live in one of these states you will not collect your SNAP payment in December. What it does mean is that you should already have the money on your EBT card. Otherwise you should claim payment because the schedule for these checks has already run out.
The rest of the states will continue to send the checks in the next few weeks. Also, there is also the possibility that some States outside of this first list have already sent out all of the SNAP Food Stamps checks as well.
Since each state handles this benefit independently, it is very difficult to know exactly when we will get the payment. It is best to contact the USDA directly and ask for as much information as possible.
WHICH STATES WILL NO LONGER SEND OUT SNAP FOOD STAMPS CHECKS IN DECEMBER?
In the states listed below, we will not be able to get another SNAP Food Stamps check in December. This means that we have already gotten it before. So any payments we have on our EBT card will possibly be from this benefit.
These are the states that have already sent out all the checks for this financial help for Americans:
- Alaska: December 1
- Connecticut: December 1 to 3
- Hawaii: December 3 to 5
- Montana: December 2 to 6
- Nebraska: December 1 to 5
- New Hampshire: December 5
- New Jersey: December 1 to 5
- North Dakota: December 1
- Rhode Island: December 1
- Vermont: December 1
- Virginia: December 1 to 7
Likewise, other states may also have ended, as we have previously commented. But if we have the official timetable in mind these are the only states that have already ended these benefits.
ALL STATES WILL SEND NEW FOOD STAMPS
However, not living in those states doesn’t mean we don’t get a check this month. Aside from those states there are many others that will be sending out new checks in the next few days. Before the end of December 2023 all states will have paid all SNAP Food Stamps checks to their recipients.
