SNAP Benefits Sent to Millions of Americans in September 2023
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has reached a record number of Americans, with benefits being sent to 41.9 million individuals across the United States. These payments, deposited on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, are crucial in helping residents purchase eligible foods. However, the exact date on which individuals receive this assistance varies depending on the state in which they reside.
Each state and the District of Columbia have different dates for sending out SNAP benefits. This discrepancy is due to the fact that while the United States Department of Agriculture oversees the program, it is the responsibility of each individual state to determine the budget, amount of benefits per person, and eligibility requirements.
