Millions of Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to combat food insecurity.
While other federal payments like SSI are delivered on fixed dates, SNAP payments vary by state and are distributed throughout the month.
If you haven’t received your July Food Stamps yet, you may still be eligible based on your state’s distribution schedule.
This article explains the SNAP payment dates for July, maximum benefit amounts, and which states are still distributing payments.
When Are July SNAP Benefits Being Distributed?
Each state follows its own schedule to load Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards. Depending on your location, your July payment may have already been delivered or is on its way.
While states like Florida and Texas issue payments through the entire month, others like Connecticut and Rhode Island will issue the next payment in August.
