Millions of Florida residents rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits each month to help put food on the table. If you’re wondering when your February 2025 payment will be deposited, we’ve got you covered.
Florida distributes SNAP benefits on a staggered schedule throughout the month, based on the last two digits of your case number (excluding the 10th digit). This system helps prevent delays and ensures everyone gets their funds smoothly.
Who’s Getting Paid Next Week?
If your case number’s 8th and 9th digits fall within these ranges, your benefits will be loaded onto your EBT card next week:
- February 10: Case numbers ending in 32-34
- February 11: Case numbers ending in 35-38
- February 12: Case numbers ending in 39-41
If you’re in this group, your funds will be available on the corresponding date. Simply check your EBT card balance online, through the MyACCESS Florida website, or at a participating retailer to confirm your deposit.
How to Check Your SNAP Benefits
It’s always a good idea to verify your balance before heading to the grocery store. Here’s how you can do that:
- Online: Visit MyACCESS Florida and log in to your account.
- By Phone: Call EBT Customer Service at 1-888-356-3281.
- At the Store: Use a point-of-sale machine at a participating retailer to check your balance.
Maximizing Your SNAP Benefits
To stretch your benefits as much as possible, try these tips:
- Plan Ahead: Make a grocery list focusing on essential items like fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains, and proteins.
- Use Discounts: Some stores offer special discounts for SNAP recipients. Check with your local grocery store.
