- Visit your state’s SNAP website: Most states have detailed schedules online. Check for your state online.
- Call your local SNAP office: For personalized help, you can call and ask for the exact payment date.
- Check your EBT card balance: Logging in to your EBT account or checking via an app can help you see when the payment hits your card.
Staying informed can help you plan your groceries and budgeting for the month.
How much can you expect from your SNAP benefits?
The amount you receive in SNAP benefits depends on the size of your household and your income. According to the USDA, a family of four can receive up to $975. For smaller households, the maximum benefit for an individual is $292.
Larger families, with eight or more members, could receive up to $1,756, and even bigger households may get an additional $220 per person.
What should you do if your SNAP payment is delayed?
It’s very disappointing to look forward to your SNAP benefits and on the scheduled date you do not see your payment. If you observe that your payment is delayed, here are the steps you can take:
- Check the payment schedule once again: Payment schedule for each state varies.
- Call the SNAP office nearest to you: This will enable them to assist you in addressing any problems with your account or your payment. Check the SNAP office near you now.
- Make sure your information is current: if your payment is delayed, it could be due to information that is no longer valid in your SNAP account, for example a wrong address or incorrect bank account information.
Act quickly to resolve any problems so you can receive your benefits without further delay.
