EBT Benefits SNAP 2025

The program continues its distribution in Florida; learn how payment dates are determined

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), popularly known as ‘food stamps’, continues to provide vital support to millions of low-income American families. In Florida, December payments will be extended until the 14th of the month, with a distribution based on each beneficiary's case number.

Key Dates for Beneficiaries in Florida

Between December 8 and 14, 2024, SNAP allocations will be deposited according to the following dates:

• December 8: Case numbers ending in 25-27.
• December 9: Case numbers ending in 28-31.
• December 10: Case numbers ending in 32-34.
• December 11: Case numbers ending in 35-38.
• December 12: Case numbers ending in 39-41.
• December 13: Case numbers ending in 42-45.
• December 14: Case numbers ending in 46-48.

Beneficiaries can confirm their specific date by following a simple procedure to interpret the case number, which considers digits 9 and 8 reversed.

How to Determine Your SNAP Payment Date in Florida?

To find out your payment date, follow these steps:

1. Locate digits 9 and 8 of your case number. For example, if it is 1234567890, the digits are 2 and 4.
2. Reverse them to get the corresponding number. In this example, 24 becomes 42.
3. Check the distribution calendar. With the number 42, the deposit date will be December 13.

A Vital Program for Millions of Households

Across the United States, SNAP benefits 42 million people, including 22.2 million families facing economic challenges. Although the funds come from the Department of Agriculture (USDA), each state, like Florida, administers the resources independently, setting specific schedules and requirements.

This program remains a crucial tool in combating food insecurity in the country. If you are a beneficiary in Florida, check your payment date and ensure compliance with state requirements to maintain this valuable support.
