Most States are delivering SNAP benefit payments on July 1, whether they have more than one payday or just a single one. Food Stamps come in the form of an Electronic Benefits Transfer card, and it is reloaded every month. Once you receive your money, you can visit authorized farmers’ markets, grocery stores, or retailers. Alaska can pay up to $3,516 for 8, and the 48 contiguous States up to $1,756.
It is possible to spend your SNAP payment at once or to save money for future purchases during the same month or the next one. However, it is essential to take good care of your EBT card because benefits can no longer be replaced if stolen. Thus, do not share your secret PIN, change your PIN after using it, turn off your card so no one can use it if allowed in your State, and check when you pay that the card reader has not been has no hidden hardware installed or has an overlay.
