The upcoming SNAP Food Stamps benefit payments will soon be loaded onto the EBT cards of thousands of Americans residing in specific states. Due to regional differences, the arrival time of these payments can vary significantly based on the beneficiary’s location.
As a result, some Americans might not receive their SNAP Food Stamps payments during the first week of July. Instead, they may need to wait a few additional days. It’s important to remember that this benefit is compatible with other types of assistance. Therefore, in the upcoming week, beneficiaries could also receive SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments.

Can SNAP Food Stamps payments be delayed in certain states?
Yes, some states can delay SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) food stamp payments. Here are the key points:
- SNAP is administered by each U.S. state, while funds are provided by the federal government. The USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service oversees the program.
- Federal law stipulates that states must process 95% of SNAP applications and payments within 30 days. However, many states across the country are not meeting this requirement.
- As of early 2024, the worst states for timely SNAP processing are Washington D.C. (43.47% on time), North Dakota (55.68%), New York (64.95%), Florida (66.37%), and New Mexico (72.81%).
- Tens of thousands of SNAP applications have been delayed in states like Tennessee and Colorado. The delays were due to problems with new processing systems. Florida has also experienced delays due to glitches with their application portal.
- When states are late, the USDA offers help. It also requires them to make plans to fix the problem. If delays persist, the USDA can begin a formal warning and funds withdrawal process.
