SNAP June Payment Dates for Each State

SNAP payments will be issued to recipients throughout June—but not everyone will be paid on the same date.

Commonly known as food stamps, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are paid to low- and no-income households who need financial help with buying essential groceries. While payments are issued across all 50 states and some U.S. territories, not every recipient is paid on the same day of the month.

SNAP benefits are paid for by federal government, but each state manages and distributes the benefits to its residents. Some states pay out amounts depending on a claimants case number. For example, if a case number ends in 01, that recipient will get their benefits earlier in the month than those who have a case number ending in 99.

Other states pay according to the first letter of your last name, and some, particularly those with smaller populations, send out all SNAP payments on the same day.

Funds are loaded onto electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards. They can be spent in participating in-person and online stores, with major chains like Walmart, Costco and Hy-Vee all accepting SNAP. Some independent stores also accept food stamps.

Changes to the SNAP program could be on the way soon as lawmakers hash out the 2024 Farm Bill. A bipartisan bill seeks to remove the federal ban on convicted drug felons claiming food assistance as well as allow incarcerated individuals to apply within 30 days of their release from prison.
