Less Than 10 Days Left for SNAP Payments: Check Your State’s Schedule
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed the SNAP payment schedule for December, with some states finishing their distributions by December 20. However, certain states, such as Florida and Texas, will continue issuing payments until December 28. A few states, like Michigan, Mississippi, and North Carolina, will issue their final payments by December 21, while others, including Missouri and Puerto Rico, will complete their distributions by December 22. Some states won’t issue payments until January 1, 2025.
In particular, New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee, and Washington will conclude their SNAP payments by December 20, 2024. This means there’s a maximum of 10 days remaining to receive payments, which could be as much as $292 for an individual.
