SNAP payment days in each state in September

September is approaching and with it the payments of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The so-called food stamps directly benefit millions of low-income households in the United States.

SNAP provides direct payments in 50 states, Washington, D.C., and other territories across the country. Funds, which can be spent on groceries, are delivered through electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards.

The food assistance program is funded by the federal government. State and local governments administer the funds, meaning not everyone receives the payment on the same date.
