Beneficiaries of the SNAP program in the state of Texas, which has one of the largest populations of food stamp recipients, have good news: the February payment dates have already been determined and, as always, follow a calendar ordered by the last digit of your Eligibility Determination Number (EDG).
If you are wondering when you will receive your benefits, here we give you all the details so you are prepared: Some households will receive up to $1,756 if they meet all of the requirements, which we will explain later to ensure that you understand everything.
How are SNAP payment dates assigned in Texas?
If your household was certified to receive SNAP benefits prior to June 1, 2020, payment dates range from 1 to 15 of each month, depending on the last digit of your EDG number.
The calendar for the dates from February 1 to 9, which correspond to the first week of February benefit delivery, is as follows:
- If your EDG ends in 0, your benefits will be available on February 1.
- If it ends in 1, the benefits will be ready on February 3.
- If it ends in 2, you will receive them on February 5.
- If it ends in 3, benefits will be available on February 6.
- If it ends in 4, you can count on them February 7.
- If it ends in 5, they will be ready on February 9.
For households certified after June 1, 2020, the dates and how payments are organized works differently, so it is advisable to contact your local SNAP office to find the correct date.
