SNAP benefits: payment dates by state and amounts for February 2024
States are preparing to issue a new round of SNAP benefits. When do they deposit the February aid? Payment dates and amounts by state.
As January comes to an end, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients can look forward to receiving a new monthly payment. The United States provides financial aid to low-income individuals, with SNAP benefits being one of the most popular programs. These payments are deposited onto an EBT debit card that can be used at certain supermarkets, establishments, and mobile markets. The program aims to provide food to those who need it most.

The amount each family will receive as aid will vary depending on their respective circumstances and the number of family members.

- 1 member: $291 dollars
- 2 members: $535
