As of March 18, there are only 17 States that have not finished issuing SNAP payments in the United States. They all have different ways to arrange paydays, so it is important to check USDA’s payment schedule.
For example, Alabama and Delaware will be delivering SNAP benefits through March 23, 2025. However, Alabama bases paydays on the last 2 digits of the Food Stamp recipient’s case number. But Delaware uses the first letter of the client’s last name.

SNAP payment schedule for April
April will be flooded with SNAP payments in many States. Some States will only have a single payday on the first day of the month. So it will be easy for recipients to know when their payment is due.
The States that only have a single payday are Alaska, Rhode Island, North Dakota and Vermont. Bear in mind that payments are much higher in Alaska and in Hawaii. Since they have a higher cost of living, SNAP payments need to be higher too.
