USDA’s payment schedule for SNAP benefits reveals that there are no Food Stamp payments on just 3 days in July. However, this is nothing to worry because there are just 2 States, Texas, and Florida, that send money through July 28.

Most States send all the money in just a few days. Some States like Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, and North Dakota will send all the SNAP benefits on August 1. Others may take 10 days like California and Colorado.
