Michigan's SNAP benefits are issued beginning June 5 until June 21. The dates typically stay the same month-to-month but vary by state.

Recipients usually see their SNAP benefits reloaded on the same day each month, with the date depending upon a recipient's Social Security number, last name, case number, or account number.
