All other states will send out food stamps to SNAP recipients beginning in the early days of August and continuing throughout the month.

While the payment dates remain the same from month to month, states will send out SNAP benefits to recipients on a rolling basis, with the date depending on a recipient's Social Security number, last name, case number, or account number.

Below are the maximum payments for the first four states that send out food stamps.
