Texas SNAP Payments
In Texas, SNAP benefits aren’t loaded on the same day for everyone. The payment date depends on the last digit of your EDG number, found on your paperwork or EBT card.
Here’s the breakdown:
| Last Digit of EDG Number | Benefit Issuance Date |
|---|---|
| 0 | June 1 |
| 1 | June 3 |
| 2 | June 5 |
| 3 | June 6 |
| 4 | June 7 |
| 5 | June 9 |
| 6 | June 11 |
| 7 | June 12 |
| 8 | June 13 |
| 9 | June 15 |
Example: If your EDG number ends in 4, you’ll receive your June benefits on June 7.
Here in Dehradun, and for communities everywhere facing economic challenges, knowing when your vital support arrives can truly make a big difference for families. In Texas, thankfully, the payment system for SNAP benefits is designed to be predictable and transparent, bringing a sense of reliability to households.
While the payments are spread out across several days, the process is clear and straightforward. All you need to do is know your EDG (Eligibility Determination Group) number. Once you have that, you can easily mark your calendar for your specific payment date. This allows for better planning and helps families manage their budgets more effectively.
This predictable system is a humanitarian effort to provide stability, especially in a tough economy. It empowers individuals and families to shop smart and make the most of their benefits, ensuring access to nutritious food.
What Is SNAP and Who Qualifies?
SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) is a federally funded program administered by Texas Health and Human Services (HHS). It helps eligible Texans buy groceries each month through an Lone Star EBT card.
You may qualify if:
- Your household meets income guidelines
- You’re a citizen or qualified immigrant
- You live in Texas and file individually or with your household
For example:
- A family of 4 must earn under $3,250/month gross to qualify (as of 2025 rates)
You can apply or renew online at YourTexasBenefits.com.
If you didn’t receive your benefits by your scheduled date, don’t panic. Check your account, contact support, and stay on top of your renewal deadlines.
How Benefits Are Used
Your Lone Star Card can be swiped just like a debit card at:
- Grocery stores
- Farmers markets (many offer “double dollars”)
- Online retailers like Amazon and Walmart
Hot food is not covered unless in a disaster assistance period.
