SNAP payments already sent in 4 States, check where Food Stamps will continue

If you live in one of the 4 States that have already delivered SNAP benefits, Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, and Rhode Island, it is time to go grocery shopping, but do not forget to take with you your EBT card and any coupons in order to save money.

Many other SNAP recipients who live in many of the 48 contiguous States or in the U.S. territories may have also received their money. Food Stamps will be delivered through March 28 in Florida and Texas. Thus, those who qualify for the last payday will need to wait for longer to get money on their EBT cards.

Guam and the United States Virgin Islands also send higher SNAP payments than most States. This is because they have higher inflation. In the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia, these are the maximum amounts through September 30, 2025.
