The last few months have seen a lot of upheavals for a number of SNAP recipients. In March, extra pandemic benefits came to an end throughout the country. Some states had already stopped these extra payments. In those that hadn’t, people lost $95 or more a month — representing a significant hit to many households’ bank account balances.
More recently, food benefits have been pulled into the debt ceiling debate. As I write this, politicians haven’t agreed to raise the debt ceiling. It is almost certain that they will find a resolution, but if they don’t, it could delay a host of federal payments, including SNAP.
When you’ll receive your June SNAP benefits
Most states pay SNAP benefits in batches, depending on your name, Social Security number, or case number. Your benefits will be paid to your electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, which you can then use like a debit card in the store. If you have any queries about your food benefits, contact your local SNAP office.
