Beneficiaries who receive assistance paying for food in the state of Wisconsin via the state's FoodShare program, a type of food stamps, will see their benefits within the next six days.

The state's version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program sends monthly payments to recipients from the second through the 15th of each month. Distribution for this month is set to be completed by Aug. 15. The day someone gets the benefits depends on the eighth digit of their Social Security number.

Individuals with zero as their eighth digit received their benefits on Aug. 2, and those with one as their eighth digit got their payment on Aug. 3. People with two as their eighth digit received their benefits on Aug. 5, those with three as their eighth digit received their monthly payment on Aug. 6, those with four as their eighth digit got their benefits on Aug. 8, and those with five as their eighth digit got their benefits on Aug. 9.

Those who have yet to receive their benefits include those with eighth digits between six and nine, who will see their benefits sometime from Aug. 11-15. Payments are put onto the beneficiary's Wisconsin QUEST card to buy items in stores.

Individuals in the program can use their food stamps on bread, cereal, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, dairy, "snack foods," and nonalcoholic beverages, along with seeds and plants to grow food. FoodShare benefits may not be used for alcohol, tobacco, vitamins, medicine, live animals, hot foods, "food to be eaten in the store," or other nonfood items.

In order to be eligible for the program in Wisconsin, applicants must be making less than a certain yearly income depending on household size. More information on the FoodShare program and eligibility can be found on the state's website.
