SNAP Texas Payments 2026: January 19-25, Check Your Payment Date

Texas SNAP benefits for January 2026 will be sent between January 19 and 25 for eligible users. Payment dates depend on EDG numbers and Lone Star Card schedules.

SNAP Texas Payments January 2026: In Texas, people who get food help from SNAP do not get their money on the same day. For January 2026, the money is sent out little by little during the month. Each person has an EDG number and this number decides the day the money comes so, not everyone gets paid at the same day.

Texas sends SNAP benefits between January 1 and January 28. This slow spread helps the state manage payments better and keeps the EBT system running smoothly. In Texas, the EBT card is known as the Lone Star Card. By spacing out payments, the system avoids overload and long delays.
