SNAP Benefits 2022: Will There Be EBT Payments for Texas, Florida Residents in September [Updates, Schedule]

SNAP Benefits 2022 emergency allotments were extended in some states. The emergency funding is authorized through the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.

Go Banking Rates reported that there will be emergency allotments provided worth $95 or more in additional funds each month, according to Agriculture Department.

Emergency allotments will continue to be available as long as there is a declared public health emergency in the state.

States will have the decision to continue to provide monthly emergency allotments, with public health emergencies that can be extended for 90 days at a time.

As of now, the public health emergency declaration's deadline is on October 13. With that being said, some states are preparing and announcing their SNAP benefits September schedule.

SNAP Benefits Florida

The Florida Department of Children and Families Office of Economic Self-Sufficiency is responsible for the monthly distribution of SNAP benefits in the state. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Florida is distributed between the first and 28th of every month.

The SNAP benefits September schedule in Florida depends on the recipients' 8th and 9th digits of their Florida case number after removing the 10th digit.

Another Go Banking Rates report noted that case numbers 9th and 8th digits are 00-03 can receive their benefits on September 1, while those with case numbers 04-06 will have their benefits available to them on September 2.
