SNAP benefits will start rolling out from February 5 in two states: Indiana and Georgia. The schedule for when you receive benefits depends on your last name in Indiana and your ID number in Georgia.
Even though SNAP is a federal program, each state manages how and when benefits are paid out. This means you’ll want to check your state’s specific payday information.
