If you are on SSDI you may also qualify for SNAP benefits. While the first program is the Social Security Disability Insurance, the other one is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
SSDI is for those who meet 2 essential requirements. First, you must have paid enough taxes to Social Security. Second, you must have a qualifying disability for over a year. Unlike Disability Insurance, SNAP does not require recipients to have paid enough taxes. Plus, it is not a SSA program. In fact, it is from USDA.
SNAP AND SSDI SHARE THE PAYMENT DATE IN THIS STATE
South Dakota will send Food Stamp benefits on the same day as SSDI arrives for some recipients. The due date will be April 10. As a matter of fact, this will be the second payday for eligible disability recipients.
In order to get this disability benefit on this day you must have filed, got approval from SSA, and met the birth date requirement. That means you can only receive it if your birthday falls on a specific window.
The days where your birthday must fall is from 11-20. If you are also receiving SNAP benefits (the former Food Stamps), you will also get these benefits on the same payment date, April 10.
