A lot of people who get SNAP benefits in the US have already gotten their July checks, but thousands of households are still waiting. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments vary a lot from state to state. This means that even if your fridge is almost empty, you might still get your benefits.
SNAP payment schedules vary from state to state, which is different from other government aid programs. There are people who pay benefits at the start of the month and people who spread them out over a few weeks. If you’ve been nervously checking your balance but haven’t seen any changes, your benefits may still be on their way according to the normal plan for your state.

What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your SNAP Benefits
Your benefits should have arrived by now, but they haven’t. First, check your status through the SNAP site or customer service line in your state. Problems with paperwork or delays in renewal could keep you from getting your benefits for a while.
Remember that SNAP funds usually come at the same time every month. If your deposit is late this month, it might happen again next month too. Also, if the date of your deposit happens on a holiday or the weekend, you can expect your money to come a little early or the next business day.
Keep up with the news and be patient. Your benefits will probably come, even if they’re late.
