The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Florida offers essential support to low-income individuals and families, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and other households struggling to afford sufficient food. Administered by the Florida Department of Children and Families’ Office of Economic Self-Sufficiency (ESS), SNAP benefits are crucial for supplementing monthly food budgets, reported by MARCA.
To ensure beneficiaries are well-informed about when to expect their benefits, here is a detailed breakdown of the SNAP payment schedule. Benefits are issued from the 1st to the 28th of each month, based on the 9th and 8th digits of your Florida case number, omitting the 10th digit.
For example:
- If your case number’s digits are ’01’, you will receive your SNAP benefits on the 1st of the month.
- If your digits are ’25’, your benefits will be issued on the 8th of the month.
Here is the SNAP payment schedule based on your case number:
- 00-03: 1st of the month
- 04-06: 2nd of the month
- 07-10: 3rd of the month
- 11-13: 4th of the month
- 14-17: 5th of the month
- 18-20: 6th of the month
- 21-24: 7th of the month
