One of the biggest features of United States SNAP Food Stamps payments is the ability to get paid earlier or later depending on where you live. While Social Security retirement or disability checks are sent according to the year of retirement and the birthday, the payment of this SNAP benefit arrives on different days in different states.
So if you check the list of state payments, you can mark on the calendar at what time of the month you can get this monthly payment. That said, it doesn’t matter what State you live in, as you will always get the payment each month. The money will appear on the EBT card for you to use each month, so you don’t have to worry about it.
