SNAP Texas Payment Schedule: Who is getting their last September food stamps this week?
According to Marca, The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) continues to provide critical support to 3.4 million Texans each month, ensuring they have access to essential food resources. For many recipients, knowing when their benefits will be available is vital for managing household needs. Here’s the latest update on this week’s payment schedule.
Application Process and Eligible Purchases
In Texas, SNAP applications typically take around 30 days for approval. Once beneficiaries are approved, they can use their funds to purchase a wide variety of food items, including fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products. However, it’s important to note that SNAP benefits cannot be used for non-food items such as gasoline, tobacco, or alcohol.
SNAP Payment Schedule This Week
To facilitate smooth distribution of benefits, Texas employs a staggered payment system that spans from the 1st to the 28th of each month. This schedule is based on the last two digits of each household’s Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number, ensuring that payments are spread evenly across the month to avoid overloading the system.
Payment Dates for EDG Numbers 75-99
This week, beneficiaries with EDG numbers 75-99 will receive their funds according to the following schedule:
- EDG numbers 75-78: September 22
- EDG numbers 79-81: September 23
- EDG numbers 82-85: September 24
- EDG numbers 86-88: September 25
- EDG numbers 89-92: September 26
- EDG numbers 93-95: September 27
- EDG numbers 96-99: September 28
This staggered payment structure allows recipients to plan ahead for grocery shopping and meal preparation, ensuring they can access their benefits when needed without disruption.

For those seeking the most current information on SNAP benefits in Texas, it is recommended to regularly check the Texas Health and Human Services website. This resource offers detailed guidance on the application process and provides updates on any changes to the program, helping beneficiaries stay informed about their benefits and payment schedules.
