The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, provides benefits to more than 42 million Americans to access essential food in Florida, as well as the rest of the nation.
This federal program represents a key support for those facing financial difficulties.

Although the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees SNAP nationally, each state administers its implementation independently.
In Florida, the Department of Children and Families is responsible for managing benefits.
People who qualify receive an Electronic Benefits Transfer EBT card, similar to a debit card. Funds are deposited each month and can only be used on authorized products.
Permitted items include nutritious foods such as protein, carbohydrates, essential fats, fruits and vegetables. The aim of the program is to provide a balanced diet that will help prevent health problems associated with malnutrition, such as scurvy.
However, SNAP benefits do not cover the purchase of hot or ready-to-eat products, nor alcohol, cigarettes, gasoline or other non-food items. Those who break the program’s rules could lose access to assistance.
Who will receive their SNAP payment in Florida the second week of April?
People who receive their SNAP benefits in the state of Florida do so every month with payment dates ranging from the 1st to the 28th.
The schedule is determined according to the eighth and ninth digits of the beneficiary’s Florida case number, excluding the 10th digit.
The schedule takes the ninth and eighth digits of your case number, read backwards, excluding the tenth digit, a system that ensures a smooth distribution process to stagger payments throughout the month:
- Case number 11-13: benefits available on the 4
- Case number 14-17: benefits available on the 5th
- Case number 18-20: benefits available on the 6th
- Case number 21-24: benefits available on the 7th
- Case number 25-27: benefits available on the 8th
- Case number 28-31: benefits available on the 9th
- Case number 32-34: benefits available on the 10
- Case number 35-38: benefits available on 11
