A new payment schedule begins for SNAP beneficiaries across the country. These are the dates for the month of June, starting on the 1st. Millions of beneficiaries will be able to collect their SNAP benefits from June 1st in the 50 states, Washington DC and other territories of the United States.
The exact date you receive SNAP benefits depends on several factors, including the state in which you live. If you already receive these assignments or have just been approved, you will be assigned a monthly issuance cycle, that is, once a month the amount that has been approved will be deposited onto an EBT card.
Payment Dates Change in Ever State
Benefit issuance cycles vary from state to state, but generally follow a monthly schedule. For example, you may receive your benefits on the first day of each month or on a specific date at any other point in the month, depending on how your state of residence groups payments.
Some states issue food stamp payments based on the first letter of your last name, while others use the case number or the last two digits of the case number to determine when you and your family are eligible for SNAP benefits.

Are you eligible for SNAP benefits? Find out now
To get SNAP benefits, you must apply in the state where you permanently reside and meet certain requirements, including household income and resource limits, among others.
You can contact your state agency by visiting your local SNAP office to determine if you are eligible locally, as some requirements may vary from state to state.
Through September 30, 2024, households can have a maximum of $2,750 in countable resources, such as cash or money in a bank account, when applying for SNAP benefits. If you have a person in the home who is over 60 years old or has a disability, the countable resources can amount to $4,250.
There are certain items that do not count as resources to determine eligibility for SNAP benefits:
- A house and a lot;
- Resources of people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI);
- Resources for people receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF; also known as welfare); and
- Most retirement and pension plans (withdrawals from these accounts may count as income or resources depending on how often they occur).
Vehicles count as a resource for purposes of SNAP benefits, and states are free to determine how vehicles can be counted as household resources and counted toward facilitating or impeding eligibility.
Licensed vehicles are NOT counted if:
- They are used for income generating purposes (for example, taxi, truck or delivery vehicle);
- They annually produce income consistent with their fair market value;
- They are required for long-distance travel for work purposes (other than daily commuting);
- They are used as a home;
- They are necessary to transport a physically disabled household member;
- They are necessary to transport most of the household’s fuel or water; either
- If the sale of the vehicle would result in less than $1,500.
For non-excluded licensed vehicles, market value greater than $4,650 is counted as a resource when applying for food stamps.
Licensed vehicles are subject to an equity test during the selection process. This means taking the fair market value and subtracting any amounts owed on the vehicle. One vehicle per adult household member does not have to be tested for fairness, as does any other vehicle used by a household member under age 18 for work, school, job training, or job search.
