If you receive SNAP (Food Stamps), the date on which you receive your benefits will be changing beginning in January of 2014. The amount of your benefits will NOT be changing – just the date you receive the benefits on your EBT card.

In January of 2014, you will receive half of your benefits on your EBT card on your current date. You will receive the other half of your benefits on a date later in the month. Then in February, and every month after that, you will receive all your benefits on the later date in the month.

PLEASE PLAN AHEAD!!

To find out the date that you currently get your SNAP benefits, the two dates on which you will receive SNAP benefits in January of 2014 and when you will receive SNAP benefits starting in February of 2014, enter the last name of the person receiving SNAP benefits here:
