Some States will deposit SNAP benefit payments on July 1, 2025. Therefore, if this is their only payday, there will be no Food Stamps to be deposited on July 4, Independence Day. For example, Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, and North Dakota will issue all the benefits on July 1. One State that only issues Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits over the first 10 business days is Pennsylvania.
Therefore, there will be no SNAP payments on Independence Day in Pennsylvania because it is a Federal holiday. Legal holidays also affect Social Security payments, but they will not be affected by the celebration on July 4 because the first paydays are on the third and on the 9th. Here is the list of States that will deposit the first Food Stamps on July 4, 2025.
