The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income households buy food by loading funds onto EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) cards. Payment schedules vary by state.
They are often based on elements like the last digit(s) of your case number, the type of household, or other state-specific assignment rules.
Certain groups in states like Texas and Florida are scheduled to receive their payments this week. Knowing whether you’re in one of these groups can help you plan your food budget.
Payment Schedule: Who Gets Paid & When
Here are details for the upcoming SNAP payment distribution in Texas and Florida, covering the week of September 8-14, 2025:
| State | Payment Period | How Date Is Determined | Case Number / Group for This Week | Payment Days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | Early‐ to mid-September payments | Based on the last digit of the SNAP case number | Cases ending in 5, 6, 7, 8 are in line this week | Sept 9 (for ending in 5), Sept 11 (6), Sept 12 (7), Sept 13 (8) |
| Florida | Sept 8-14 payment window | Based on last two digits of case number, read in reverse order | Groups with reversed case numbers 25-48 (spread across days) | Sept 8 ‒ Sept 14, each day covers a different range |
Maximum Benefit Amounts & How They Are Calculated
SNAP payments vary a lot depending on household size, income, and allowable expenses. Here’s what the maximum monthly benefit ceilings look like in Florida for fiscal year 2025:
| Household Size | Maximum SNAP Benefit (Florida, Sept 2025) |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $291 |
| 2 people | $535 |
| 3 people | $766 |
| 4 people | $973 |
| 5 people | $1,155 |
| 6 people | $1,386 |
| 7 people | $1,532 |
| 8 people | $1,756 |
| Each additional person | + $220 per extra person over 8 |
Actual benefits are usually less than these maximums, because the SNAP amount is reduced depending on household income, deductible expenses, and the number of people in the household.
Eligibility & Key Rules to Know
- Your residency in the state determines whether you can get SNAP there. U.S. citizens or qualified non-citizens usually qualify.
- Household gross income must typically be at or below 130% of federal poverty level, with net income (after deductions) under certain thresholds.
- Adults between 16-59 without dependents often have work requirements. Able-bodied adults without dependents (“ABAWDs”) usually must work, volunteer, or train. Exceptions for seniors, people with disabilities, pregnant persons etc.
- Benefits are loaded to your EBT card; you don’t choose the deposit date—it depends on your case number group.
If you live in Texas or Florida, you may be part of the five or seven groups scheduled to receive SNAP benefit payments this week (Sept 8-14, 2025). Your case number is the key—check its last digit(s) and compare with your state’s schedule.
While the maximum SNAP amounts are useful benchmarks, your actual benefit depends on your individual situation: household size, income, deductions, and state rules.
Always keep your information up to date to avoid delays, and watch for state agency announcements in your area.
FAQs
How do I know if I’m in one of the groups getting SNAP payments this week?
Check your case number. Depending on your state, it might be the last digit, or the last two digits reversed. Then match it with the schedule (e.g. Texas group 5, 6, 7, 8; Florida reversed digits 25-48 for specific days).
What if my SNAP case number isn’t in those listed this week?
You’ll receive your benefit on the date assigned to your group. SNAP payments are spread out over several days in the month to avoid delays. Your assigned date may be earlier or later depending on your case number.
Can benefit amounts change?
Yes. The maximum benefits are state-set ceilings. What you get depends on your income, household size, deductible expenses like rent, utilities, etc. Also, eligibility rules (income limits, work requirement) affect how much you get.
