January 2024 is coming to its home stretch. Therefore, United States citizens should have, at least most of them, all the benefits related to the first month of the year. And from among these benefits we can also count SNAP Food Stamps.
Unlike Social Security payments, for example, SNAP Food Stamps checks arrive on different days depending on the State in which we live. This state-managed schedule can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Therefore, we need to know at what time of the month our State will send the payment, as it will depend on when we can use it.
So if you have the SNAP Food Stamps benefit accepted you should know that it should be on your EBT card very soon at the latest. Considering that the last day of this calendar will be January 28th, it is obvious that by this time of the month most recipients already have the money available. If that is the case, you should not wait to use it to buy food. If you don’t have it yet, the money should be on its way, so you shouldn’t have to wait much longer.
When do January SNAP Food Stamps payments arrive by state?
Below we are going to look at the full schedule of SNAP Food Stamps payments in January. The purpose of looking at the full schedule is to keep track of when it should appear on our EBT card. If we know the days on which each state can send a check, we can estimate when we will get a payment in the next month.

As you can see, these payments will depend on each state. So if you live in Texas or Florida the money could be sent tomorrow, but that does not mean that because we live in other states we can get the check sooner.
It could be the case that a state has sent the money but some of the beneficiaries have not received it yet. For this reason, we must check the balance of the EBT card and then we will be 100% sure that we have gotten the SNAP money to use it in any of the participating establishments.
