Unlike other benefits such as Social Security or stimulus checks, which are sent out federally by the United States Government, SNAP Food Stamps is managed differently in each state. This is something important to bear in mind, as the timing of payment can vary depending on where we live.
Without a doubt, getting SNAP Food Stamps can be a big change in the lives of the beneficiaries who receive it and that is why it is important to know the dates of the payment. Some states send all the checks on the same day. Other states pay throughout the month. And other states may pay in the first days of each month.
Whatever the case, if we have SNAP Food Stamps accepted we will be able to get the corresponding money on our EBT card. To check if we already have the money, just look at the balance on the EBT card.

How can I check the balance on the EBT card?
