SNAP update: List of States delivering Food Stamp checks of up to $1,751 from Sep. 9-28

According to Vibes Okdiario, The USDA has announced the schedule for the next round of SNAP payments, as well as the states that are still delivering funds to EBT cards. States like Alaska, Vermont, and Rhode Island distributed all of their September Food Stamp benefits on the 1st, meaning residents will have to wait until October for their next payment.

Each state manages its own payday schedule and application process through local SNAP offices. The current monthly payments do not yet reflect the 2025 COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment) increase, which will apply to the 48 contiguous states starting on October 1, 2024.
