Millions of Florida residents rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help put food on the table. If you’re wondering when your benefits will hit your account this month, we’ve got you covered.
SNAP payments in Florida are distributed over 28 days each month, and the exact date depends on your case number. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure you don’t miss out on your January 2025 benefits.
How Payment Dates Are Determined
In Florida, the day you receive your SNAP benefits is based on the 9th and 8th digits of your case number, read in reverse order.
