According to Vibes.okdiario.com, The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed the schedule for when millions of Americans will receive their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments in October 2024. These payments, loaded onto EBT cards, will reflect the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). However, recipients in Hawaii will see a reduction in benefits, unlike other states where the COLA will bring an increase. This adjustment for 2025 has not been favorable for all beneficiaries.
