The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) continues issuing monthly food assistance benefits through Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards across the United States.
While many states have already completed their July distributions, others—including Florida, Texas, Indiana, and Louisiana—are still actively depositing benefits and will continue through July 28, 2025.
If you live in a state where SNAP payments are still in progress, this detailed guide helps you determine your likely EBT deposit date so you can plan your grocery shopping and avoid missing essential support.
Why SNAP Payment Dates Vary Across States
Although the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funds the SNAP program nationally, each state manages its own distribution schedule.
This means that some states release all payments within a few days, while others spread them across the entire month. The timing often depends on:
- The last digit of your Social Security Number (SSN)
- Your case number
- Your birth date
- Other state-specific systems
If you’re in urgent need of food, you may qualify for expedited SNAP benefits, which are typically processed within 7 days for eligible applicants.

State-Specific Rules: Maine and Massachusetts
These two states use personal identifiers to determine when SNAP deposits hit your EBT card.
Maine SNAP Payment Rules
Maine schedules its payments based on the last digit of your birth day:
- If your birthday ends in 5 or 6, your benefit is deposited on July 14.
Massachusetts SNAP Payment Rules
Massachusetts uses the last digit of your SSN to decide payment dates:
- If your SSN ends in 9, your July 2025 SNAP benefit will be deposited on July 14.
These are the final payment dates for both states this month.
What to Do If Your SNAP Payment Hasn’t Arrived Yet
If your state’s SNAP distribution window is still open and you haven’t received your July 2025 payment, here are the steps you should take:
- Check your EBT balance online or using your state’s mobile app
- Call your local SNAP office to confirm if your case is active
- Ensure your paperwork is up to date, including recertification or renewal forms
Keep in mind that all July 2025 benefits will be deposited no later than July 28 in states with extended schedules.
Emergency Food Support Is Still Available
If you’re currently not receiving SNAP benefits but facing urgent food insecurity, remember:
- SNAP applications are open year-round
- You may qualify for expedited benefits, typically processed within 7 days
- Apply through your state’s SNAP portal or visit a local office for faster assistance
Why Knowing Your SNAP Payment Date Matters
Understanding your state’s distribution schedule helps you:
- Plan grocery purchases
- Manage household budgets
- Avoid confusion or missed payments
With states like Florida and Texas issuing SNAP benefits until July 28, there’s still time for many households to receive this vital monthly food support.
If you live in Maine or Massachusetts, check your identifiers and mark July 14 as your final deposit date for July.
Monitor Your EBT Account Regularly
The fastest way to track your benefit status is through:
- Your state’s EBT portal
- Official state mobile apps
- Direct customer service helplines
Always ensure your mailing address, SSN, and household composition are accurate in your case file to avoid delays.
