Some States will deliver the next SNAP benefits in June. However, many others are still distributing Food Stamps in May. For example, if you live in Alabama, paydays are based on the last 2 digits of the recipient’s case number. Thus, if your case number ends in 60-64, you will collect your benefits on May 16 in Alabama.
Delaware will also send SNAP benefits on May 16 if the first letter of your last name is “O” and if you are an eligible recipient. Florida uses the 9th and 8th digits of your case number. It is read backward, and it is necessary to drop the 10th digit. If yours is 54-57, you will collect Food Stamps on May 16.
SNAP payments on May 16 or later
About 17 States are still distributing SNAP benefits on May 16 or later. Puerto Rico is also delivering Food Stamps through May 22. Remember that benefits are sent to EBT cards, and then recipients can buy groceries in authorized stores, farmer markets, or retailers, both online and in-store.

Eligibility in some States for SNAP on May 16-17
Georgia has no payments on the 16th. But it uses the last 2 digits of your ID. Recipients whose ID ends in 60-69 will collect benefits on May 17, 2025. The State of Indiana uses the first letter of your last name to arrange paydays.
Hence, if the first letter of your last name is O, P, Q, or R, your SNAP benefits will be deposited on May 17. The State of Maryland bases paydays on the first 3 letters of your last name.
- The first 3 letters of the last name are between: MCP and NEF = Food Stamp benefits available on the 16th of the month
- The first 3 letters of the last name are between: NEG and PGZ = Food Stamp benefits available on the 17th of the month
