Everyone who receives benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a form of assistance to pay for food, in the Sunshine State will receive their July payment in one day.

Distribution for the food stamps program in Florida runs from the first through the 28th of every month, which means that all beneficiaries receive their payments for this month by July 28.

The formula for distributing SNAP benefits in Florida takes the ninth digit followed by the eighth digit of a person's case number to create a two-digit number, and that number corresponds to a day when someone receives their benefits.

Those who have case numbers in which this combination is 00-03 will receive their benefits on the 1st of a month. Those who receive their benefits from the 2nd through the 27th of the month are in groups of three, beginning with 04-06 for the 2nd of the month and ending with 93-95 for the 27th. Those whose ninth and eighth digits are 96-99 receive their benefits on the 28th.

The average benefit payment per household member for the SNAP program in Florida is $180, and approximately 2.85 million people, or roughly 13% of the state's population, receive assistance paying for groceries.
