SNAP February 2025 Payment Schedule – Know When Your Benefits Will Arrive This Month

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), previously known as Food Stamps, is a crucial support system for over 42 million low-income individuals across the U.S.

The USDA, through its Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), oversees the program, while each state is responsible for distributing benefits via Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards.

EBT cards work like debit cards and are reloaded monthly with funds to purchase eligible foods like fruits, vegetables, proteins, and cereals. However, certain items such as hot or prepared meals, alcohol, tobacco, and non-food products (e.g., household supplies or fuel) are not covered by SNAP. Misuse of the card could lead to penalties, including loss of benefits.

But when can recipients expect their monthly benefits? Below is the payment schedule for February 2025.
