September SNAP Payment Schedule: When can you expect your Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments? SNAP, which was once called the Food Stamp Program, helps low-income individuals and families buy food each month. However, the timing of payments depends on the state you live in.
SNAP is a federal program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Its goal is to reduce hunger and improve nutrition by giving money to eligible families for food.
Besides basic food help, SNAP offers programs like Employment and Training (E&T) and SNAP-Ed. E&T helps people get job training and find work, while SNAP-Ed teaches about healthy eating and making the most of your food budget.

The way it works is that an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card is delivered. This card functions similarly to a debit card and may be used to buy approved food goods at grocery shops, supermarkets, and select farmers’ markets.
It is not possible to purchase non-food products like alcohol, tobacco, supplements, medications, or hot prepared foods using SNAP benefits. Additionally, it cannot be used to purchase groceries or toiletries. Strict controls are in place to guarantee that funds are exclusively allocated towards essential nourishment.

In Florida, SNAP benefits are distributed between the 1st and the 28th of each month. The date you receive your benefits depends on your case number.
