The States with the highest SNAP benefit payments in 2025 have issued all their March Food Stamps. However, there is one United States territory with larger payments that has a few paydays left in March.
Guam will issue Food Stamps through March 10, 2025. These SNAP payments will be for eligible recipients whose Social Security Number ends in 7, 8, 9, or 0. Since Guam uses the last digit of your SSN, all you have to do is check it. For example, benefits will be on your EBT card in Guam on March 7 if your SSN ends in 7 and on the 10th if it ends in 0.
