The week of February 12, 2024 many of the States in the United States will send a new SNAP Food Stamps payment to eligible recipients. Remember that each State sends out the checks for this benefit on different days. This means that depending on which State we live in we may or may not get the new payment.
Even so, it is also worth noting that some States that send out new checks this week have already sent out several checks in previous weeks. And some of the States pay SNAP Food Stamps in the first few days to certain groups of Americans. And then in subsequent weeks it continues to send payments to another group of Americans.
So, if we have a SNAP Food Stamps benefit accepted we should be aware of this. Depending on the state we live in we may get check with the benefit sooner or later. This is a big difference from Social Security payments, as the state is not a determinant of whether we get the payment earlier or later.
States sending SNAP Food Stamps the week of February 12
Although some Americans think that SNAP Food Stamps reach all recipients at the same time, this is not the case. Nothing could be further from the truth, since each State sends the checks on different days and, in addition, there are also different groups in the States.
However, the groups that each State forms to send the checks are very different from one another. Some States pay SNAP Food Stamps on the 1st of the month. Other States make payments on different days depending on the beneficiary’s last name. Others send payments based on date of birth.
Either way, the important thing is to know which days each state can send checks. Only then will we be able to narrow down the days on which we will have the money available.
These states may send SNAP Food Stamps the week of February 12:

If your state is on this list you may get the payment, but it is not 100% certain. Some states have a long calendar, but they send checks in the first few days. That is, the calendar ends on February 15 in Wisconsin, but it could be that this State has already sent all the SNAP Food Stamps checks in the first week of the month.
The best solution to find out whether or not we have the money available is to check the EBT card balance. Once the money is available on the prepaid card, we can use it to shop at participating stores.
