One of the great features of the SNAP Food Stamps payment is its timing. It is very characteristic that each state has a different payment day for this monthly benefit. Unlike the Social Security check, whose calendar is federal, Food Stamps are state-based, so we must know our state’s calendar to know when we will get our check.
Thus, SNAP Food Stamps payments of up to $291 per person could arrive this week for many recipients. Some states are already finished with the full schedule of payments, while others may still send this benefit to Americans. And it is this second group that we are interested in right now, as it allows us to collect the check in the next few days.
Still, some of the states that have already sent checks have not yet finished paying SNAP Food Stamps. This means that even if our state has paid part of the benefits we may not have the payment available on the EBT card. So just pay attention to the calendar so you know when in the month you might get this new benefit.
Upcoming SNAP Food Stamps payments in May
States that have already sent all SNAP Food Stamps payments in May will not send new ones, barring exceptions. So we need to focus on new payment information in the next few days.
To know this, let’s look at the payment schedule for this benefit that is not over yet:
- Alabama: May 4 to 23
- Delaware: May 2 to 23
- Florida: May 1 to 28
- Georgia: May 5 to 23
- Indiana: May 5 to 23
- Kentucky: May 1 to 19
- Louisiana: May 1 to 23
- Maryland: May 4 to 23
- Michigan: May 3 to 21
- Mississippi: May 4 to 21
- Missouri: May 1 to 22
- New Mexico: May 1 to 20
- North Carolina: May 3 to 21
- Ohio: May 2 to 20
- Puerto Rico: May 4 to May 22
- Tennessee: May 1 to 20
- Texas: May 1 to 28
- Washington: May 1 to 20
If your state does not appear on the list it means that the SNAP Food Stamps money should already be on your EBT card. If it is, then we need to pay attention to our EBT card balance in the next few days, as the money will be there for us to use for what we need.
