SNAP benefits will be distributed throughout the month of May.

Proposed federal budget cuts and state-level restrictions could impact the program’s future.

SNAP payments are set to be distributed throughout May.

However, recipients across the US won’t all receive their benefits on the same day.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides monthly aid to low-income families to help cover grocery costs.

SNAP is the largest federal nutrition assistance program.

It offers support to low-income individuals and families through a card loaded with electronic benefits.

Funds are added to electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards, which can be used at participating stores and select online retailers.

Recipients can use SNAP benefits to purchase eligible groceries.

These include fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, and fish; breads, and cereals; dairy products; snack foods; and non-alcoholic beverages.

The program is especially helpful for older Americans who might struggle with hunger, malnutrition, or low income.

To qualify for the program, applicants must live in the state for which they apply, and meet specific bank balance thresholds.

To qualify for SNAP, households must meet three criteria: income at or below 130% of the poverty line, net income at or below the poverty line, and asset limits of $2,750 (or $4,250 for households with a disabled member aged 60 or older).

Despite federal funding, each state oversees how the program is implemented, so distribution dates vary by state.

SNAP recipients can track their payments by using their state’s individual online portal.

Tracking your SNAP payments is typically managed through state-specific portals and mobile apps, as there isn’t a universal federal system for this purpose.​

In certain states, payment timing depends on the recipient’s case number.

In California, for example, people with case numbers ending in 01 get their benefits earlier than those ending in 99.

Other states, like Connecticut and Delaware, base payments on the first letter of the recipient’s last name.

States with fewer residents, including Alaska and South Dakota, issue all benefits on a single day.

While SNAP payments are expected to proceed as scheduled, the program could face major reforms under the Trump administration.

The House has passed a budget instructing the Agriculture Committee to slash $230 billion in program spending by 2034.

Although SNAP isn’t explicitly mentioned, experts believe it will bear the brunt of those reductions.

Additionally, lawmakers in several Republican-led states are weighing proposals to prohibit SNAP funds from being used on soda and candy.
