Important Update: SNAP Benefits in 2 States Will Be Paid Starting October 10

According to Vibes.okdiario, The USDA has announced the payment schedule for SNAP recipients across the United States for October. While some Food Stamp beneficiaries began receiving funds on their EBT cards on October 1, recipients in South Dakota and Maine will not see their payments until October 10. Notably, these two states have arranged their payment schedules differently.

SNAP Payments in South Dakota

Residents of South Dakota who qualify for SNAP benefits can expect their funds to be available on their EBT cards on October 10. Unlike other states, South Dakota has a single payment date for all eligible recipients. It’s essential for beneficiaries to verify their case number, Social Security Number, or Eligibility Determination Group to ensure they receive their correct payment amounts.

Here are the maximum SNAP payment amounts for households in South Dakota and the other 48 contiguous states:

• 1 person: Up to $292
• 2 people: Up to $536

• Birth dates ending in 1 or 8: Payments on October 11
• Birth dates ending in 2 or 3: Payments on October 12
