CSTThe Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, remains a vital support for more than 42 million low-income citizens who receive this food support benefit throughout the United States.The organization in charge of administering the SNAP benefits is the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which does so through the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), although it should be remembered that each of the states is responsible for the distribution of such support in their respective entities.New SNAP Benefits eligibility criteria: Changes and updatesSimilarly, each state has its own schedule for SNAP benefit payments, through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit or credit card.Benefits funds are loaded onto the EBT card each month, and the amount delivered can be used to purchase a variety of nutritious foods, which fall within an essential list including proteins, cereals, fruits and vegetables, helping low-income families to maintain a balanced diet and avoid health problems related to poor nutrition.We must remember that in all entities of the American Union there are some limitations on the use of benefits, as it is not allowed to use SNAP to buy hot or prepared foods, alcohol, tobacco or non-food items such as gasoline and household products.Misuse of your card could even cost you your benefits.These are the dates for each state for the SNAP deposit across the United States:Alabama: February 4 to 23Alaska: February 1Arizona: February 1-13Arkansas: February 4-13California: February 1-10Colorado: February 1-10Connecticut: February 1-3Delaware: February 2 to 23Washington, D.C.: February 1-10Florida: February 1 to 28Georgia: February 5 to 23Guam: February 1-10Hawaii: February 3-5Idaho: February 1-10Illinois: February 1-20Indiana: February 5 to 23Iowa: February 1-10Kansas: February 1-10Kentucky: February 1 to 19Louisiana: February 1 to 23Maine: February 10-14Maryland: February 4-23Massachusetts: February 1-14Michigan: February 3-21Minnesota: February 4-13Mississippi: February 4 to 21Missouri: February 1-22Montana: February 2-6Nebraska: February 1-5Snowfall: February 1-10New Hampshire: February 5New Jersey: February 1-5New Mexico: February 1-20New York: February 1-9North Carolina: February 3-21North Dakota: February 1Ohio: February 2-20Oklahoma: February 1 to 10Oregon: February 1-9Pennsylvania: February 3-14Puerto Rico: February 4 to February 22Rhode Island: February 1South Carolina: February 1-19South Dakota: February 10Tennessee: February 1-20Texas: February 1 to 28Utah: February 5, 11 and 15Virgin Islands: February 1Vermont: February 1Virginia: February 1-7Washington: February 1-20West Virginia: February 1-9Wisconsin: February 1-15Wyoming: February 1-4
