The big difference between Social Security payments and SNAP Food Stamps in the United States is that SNAP Food Stamps depend on where you live. The day we get our SNAP checks depends directly on whether we live in one state or another. Thus, knowing the schedule of these payments becomes key to organize the entire economy of the month.
If we can know in advance at what time of the month we will have our retirement check available we can also do the same with the SNAP Food Stamps payment. And in the next few days we will have access to the payment of this benefit in different states of the United States. Getting one of these checks will depend directly on whether we live in those states or not.
States that will be paying SNAP Food Stamps next August
Remember that some States pay SNAP Food Stamps checks in the first few days of the month. So if you are expecting to get a check, it may be available earlier in the month. The exact day depends on where you live, but within each state there are also certain rules that may change the day of collection.

To find out if we already have the money available we should check the balance of the EBT card. If the money is available on the EBT card, we can use it. If not, we will have to wait until our state sends us the SNAP Food Stamps check.
