As early as this week, thousands of United States citizens will be able to get a new SNAP Food Stamps check. Not only that, but in just a few days the new Social Security payment will also arrive. Therefore, in less than 15 days many of the neediest citizens will receive a good amount of money to use for what they need.
Also, many states have already sent out all the SNAP food Stamps payments, so in those states we should not be able to collect the payment. Still, even if a month’s calendar is over, we can still get the payment because it is a little late. It is not common, but it is possible for this situation to occur if there is some irregularity with our payments.
But what is interesting at this point is to know on what day of the month we might get our SNAP food Stamps check, as this payment is very interesting because it helps families to have better budget monthly. If we are on the list of these States we could get the payment today or at least USDA could send the payment on this same day.
States that will send out SNAP Food Stamps before the end of the week
Some states have already sent all the checks, but some have not. This is more important than it sounds, because if we check the full list we can see when we should have collected SNAP Food Stamps. Having this payment as soon as possible can be a great advantage as it will allow us to buy food for the whole family.

Can I use SNAP Food Stamps in Restaurants?
There are some restaurants in some States where it is possible to use SNAP Food Stamps checks. This is not common, but it is possible to spend the SNAP benefit money at participating restaurants.
In these cases, Americans usually use the money to buy food and cook it at home, but it is possible to use this money in some restaurants. However, you should first check with the restaurant itself to see if it is a member of the EBT card.
In order to know 100% the best option is to go to the restaurant itself and ask or even make a phone call. We must check this situation before going to the restaurant with the idea of spending the SNAP Food Stamps money.
