USDA, through the Food and Nutrition Service, has announced when the first SNAP benefit payments will take place in early August. Depending on the State where you live, you may get it on a different day.
What is more, some States and U.S. territories may even send more money to SNAP recipients than others. This is because inflation is higher in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Alaska, and Hawaii.
States sending SNAP payments either on or from August 1
Food Stamps will be due only on August 1 in Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, and North Dakota. The U.S. Virgin Islands is the only territory sending all the payments on the same payday, August 1 too.
