In Florida, SNAP payments for late May 2025 are scheduled based on case number ranges. Beneficiaries with digits 89-92 in positions 8-9 receive funds on May 26, followed by 93-95 on May 27 and 96-99 on May 28. Dates align with a staggered system to manage distribution efficiency across the state.
The payment dates correlate directly with the two-digit combination formed by the 8th and 9th digits of a beneficiary’s case number. This method, standardized by Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF), ensures systematic disbursement. Variations may occur, prompting recommendations to confirm via the MyACCESS portal.
How to find your SNAP benefits date in Florida?
In Florida, SNAP benefits are distributed from the 1st to the 28th of each month. The exact date of deposit depends on the eighth and ninth digits of the recipient’s SNAP case number, read backwards and not including the tenth digit.
The 8th and 9th digits of a SNAP case number act as the primary determinant for payment dates. Read sequentially (e.g., 8th as tens place, 9th as units), they create a value between 00-99. Ranges like 89-92 correspond to specific days, ensuring beneficiaries receive funds predictably within the monthly 1-28 window.
A case number example, such as 1234568901, would place payments on May 26. This systematic allocation helps Florida’s DCF manage high transaction volumes without delays. The process mirrors federal guidelines for assistance programs, prioritizing equity and accessibility for over 2.9 million participants statewide.

SNAP Benefits in Florida: How the payments work for eligible families
Administered federally by the USDA and locally by Florida DCF, SNAP provides nutritional support via EBT cards. These cards function like debit instruments, restricted to eligible items: groceries, dairy, produce, and non-prepared foods. Exclusions include alcohol, tobacco, and hot meals, aligning with federal mandates.
Florida’s program supports approximately 3 million residents monthly, with funds reloaded electronically between the 1st and 28th. The EBT system streamlines access, reducing stigma and enhancing convenience. Eligibility depends on income, household size, and compliance with state-specific work requirements.
The maximum payments range from $292 up to $1,756, depending on the size of the family. For fiscal year 2025, the maximum monthly SNAP benefits in the 48 contiguous states and Washington D.C. range from $292 for a single-person household to $1,756 for a household of eight. Each additional household member increases the maximum benefit by $220. These updated amounts reflect cost-of-living adjustments and are effective from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, as set by the USDA.
In U.S. territories with higher living costs—such as Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—maximum benefit levels are even higher. For instance, a family of four in Alaska can receive between $1,258 and $1,953 per month, depending on the region.
Eligibility and the exact amount each household receives depend on factors like income, allowable deductions, and household size. Applicants should contact their state’s SNAP office to get the most accurate and personalized information.
