Regarding the application process, Texas generally has a 30-day approval period for SNAP benefits. These benefits can be used to buy eligible food items like fresh produce, meats, and dairy products, but cannot be used for non-food items such as fuel, cigarettes, or alcohol.

Who is next in line to receive their food stamps this week?

SNAP benefits in Texas are distributed on a staggered schedule from the 1st to the 28th of each month. This distribution is based on the beneficiary’s Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number, ensuring an organized and timely delivery of benefits.

It’s important to note that SNAP benefits cannot be issued more than 40 days after the previous distribution. Households with applications certified more than 40 days before their scheduled monthly benefit issuance date will have an initial issuance adjustment period until their benefits align with their scheduled monthly issuance date.

Below is the full payment schedule, showing the last two digits of the EDG number and the corresponding payment day:

  • 00-03 – 1
