  • Guam: Families of 8 may receive up to $2,588.

Planning Your November Benefits

If you’re a SNAP recipient, it’s crucial to stay aware of your payment schedule. Depending on where you live, your payment may arrive early or later in the month. Be sure to check your Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card balance to confirm when funds have been deposited.

While most states distribute payments in the first two weeks of the month, some, like Texas and Florida, send benefits as late as November 28.
