SNAP recipients: $292 Food Stamps sent through Oct. 28, how to claim them
According to Vibes.okdiario, SNAP benefit payments will continue through October 28, 2024. After these paydays, recipients of Food Stamps will need to wait until November for their new monthly checks to be loaded onto their EBT cards.
Payment Schedule and State Variations
It’s important to note that only two states will have longer processing times for SNAP payments this month. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) allows individual states to determine their own payment schedules and application processes, which is why these payments do not occur on uniform dates across the country.
