The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin sending out its next round of payments to recipients in November in two days.
SNAP benefits distribution follows the same payment schedule from month to month, with the exact dates varying from state to state. Some states issue all of their food stamp payments in one day or over the course of three days, while others continue to send out payments for the majority of the month.
