Payment of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for July 2024 will start soon. SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, is a program that provides food benefits to low income families. Benefits are distributed monthly and are accessible via Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards.
SNAP Payment Schedule for July
US states generally distribute SNAP benefits between July 1 and July 25—except Texas and Florida that pay between July 1 and July 28. Hence, SNAP payment schedule varies per state, as each state has its own specific payment dates and criteria for distribution.
Here are some major criteria for SNAP distribution.
