According to Vibes.okdiario , The USDA has begun issuing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits starting December 1, 2024. For most states, the payments will be issued over a period of less than one week, but residents of Florida and Texas will continue to receive their food stamps through December 28.

However, in some states, residents will not receive their SNAP benefits until January 2025. These states include Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, North Dakota, Hawaii, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Wyoming. Beneficiaries in these areas, who already received payments on their EBT cards in December, will need to wait until next year for their next round of assistance.
