As the cost of groceries and living expenses rise, millions of Americans rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) to meet their monthly food needs.
If you’re expecting your EBT deposit in mid to late July 2025, it’s crucial to know your state’s payment schedule. Between July 14 and July 28, several states continue to issue SNAP benefits, especially Florida, Texas, and Maine.
Here’s everything you need to know about SNAP payment dates, eligibility, and how benefits are distributed across the U.S. during this timeframe.
SNAP Benefits Overview – What You Should Know
SNAP is a federally funded but state-administered assistance program designed to help low-income individuals and families afford nutritious food.
Payments are issued monthly to an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. While the maximum monthly SNAP benefit for a household of one is $291, the amount varies based on income, expenses, and household size.
Each state determines its own issuance schedule, typically based on factors like Social Security numbers, case numbers, or birthdates.

- Payment dates differ based on your state and individual case.
- You can check your EBT card balance and expected deposit date by logging into your state’s SNAP portal or calling the customer service number on the back of your card.
