In order to get one of the new SNAP Food Stamps payments we have to live in one of the two places in the United States where they still send checks in May. The truth is that if we don’t live in these states that means we should already have the payment available, but it all depends on many different factors.
One of the main features of the SNAP Food Stamps payment is that the payment is sent on different days depending on the state. So, some Americans are already enjoying this benefit money on the EBT card and others are waiting to get it soon. This sometimes makes the timing of the payments seem unfair, but nothing could be further from the truth.
The truth is that most states send out SNAP Food Stamps within the first few days of the month. Even so, it is true that the schedule does not end until much later, so as long as the payment schedule remains open we can get the benefit. Best of all, just looking at the EBT card balance is enough to know this information.
States that send the next SNAP Food Stamps payments
Florida and Texas are the states that finish the payment schedule the latest. This means that until the 28th day they can send SNAP Food Stamps checks to all resident recipients. So, if you live in Florida or Texas and have not yet gotten the Food Stamps, don’t worry, as the May calendar is still in effect.
- Florida: May 1 to 28
- Texas: May 1 to 28
To find out if you already have SNAP Food Stamps money available you only have to look at your EBT card balance. There are several options to do this, although not all are available in all states.
Some states have an APP that helps us to see the balance of the EBT card. In other states we can go to a participating establishment and there we can check the balance of the EBT card without any problems.
