SNAP benefits They have already been distributed in practically all the territories of the United States, with the exception of Texas, where the calendar runs from the 1st to the 28th of each month, due to the large number of beneficiaries that the Lone Star State has, which exceed the 3.2 million households and individuals.
In general, most states group their SNAP beneficiaries, and they are assigned payment dates based on the case number, file number with which the benefit was requested, or their birthday.
Given that there are 50 states and several tribal and island territories (such as Guam or the United States Virgin Islands) that provide food stamps to their inhabitants, we cannot go into details about how each of these groups the beneficiaries, but you can ask freely at the office where you originally applied for SNAP, and they will surely help you with pleasure.
