USDA has confirmed that some States will deposit all SNAP payments on April 1, 2025. Others will continue issuing payments after the first day of next month but they will start on the first. What is more, some Americans aged 65 who have a low income and limited resources may also qualify for Supplemental Security Income benefits on April 1, 2025.
So, they may get SNAP, the former Food Stamps program, and SSI benefits from the Federal Government. Some Americans with a low income and limited resources can’t get SSI until they turn 65 because they neither have a disability nor are blind. Thus, they can receive both benefits on the same payday.
Which States deposit SNAP payments on April 1, 2025?
Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, and North Dakota will deliver Food Stamps on April 1, 2025. Keep in mind that this will be the only payday and that it will be the same payment date for all recipients, regardless of their age. The U.S. Virgin Islands also issue benefits on April 1 only.

Combining SSI and SNAP payments
If you have a limited income and limited resources, you may qualify for SSI and SNAP benefits. The SSI payments generally arrive on the first day in April, but there could be changes,
SNAP payments will depend on where you live and eligibility rules set by the State you are currently living. If you have just turned 65, you may want to apply for both benefits if you can’t make ends meet.
On average, 65-year-olds and older get about $590 from SSI. SNAP payments can be about $199 on average stated the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. While SSI can be used for any expenses you need, Food Stamps will help you buy groceries in authorized stores in the U.S.
