For those whose benefits aren’t scheduled for this week, you may still receive them by September 28.

How Benefits Are Arranged
Different states use various methods to determine when SNAP benefits are issued:
- Alabama: Payments are based on the case number. For example, if your case number ends in 60-64, you’ll receive benefits on September 16. If it ends in 95-99, your payment will be on September 23.
- Delaware: Distributions are determined by the first letter of your last name. For instance, if your last name starts with an “O,” you will get your benefits on September 16. Last names starting with X, Y, or Z will see payments on September 23.
- Maryland: Payments are scheduled based on the first three letters of your last name. If the letters are between MCP and NEF, you’ll receive your benefits on September 16.
