The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also 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.
As in the rest of the states of the nation, in Florida, eligible people receive SNAP benefits each month for this segment of the population residing within the United States.

The organization in charge of administering SNAP 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.
In Florida, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) oversees the program and ensures that eligible residents receive SNAP benefits throughout the 12 months of the year.
Eligible people receive an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which has the same functionality as a debit or credit card.
The benefit 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 that includes proteins, cereals, fruits and vegetables, helping low-income families maintain a balanced diet and avoid health problems related to poor nutrition.
However, there are some limitations, as SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot or prepared foods, alcohol, tobacco or non-food items such as gasoline and household products.
Violation of these guidelines may result in sanctions, including suspension of your benefits.
Who will receive their SNAP payment in Florida next week in April?
Those who receive their SNAP benefits in Florida do so each month with payment dates ranging from the 1st to the 28th of each month. 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.
These are the beneficiaries who will receive their respective deposit throughout the following week in April:
- Case numbers 72-74 payments are made on April 20
- Case numbers 75-78 payments are made on April 21
- Case numbers 79-81 payments are made on April 22
