When will my food stamps arrive?
Pick your state, then enter the one digit or letter your state uses. We never ask for your full case number, Social Security number, card number or PIN.
Estimate only. Your deposit day is set by your state SNAP agency, and your approval notice gives your exact day. If your date has passed and nothing arrived, see what to do if benefits are late or missing or call your state agency. This site is not a government site.
Estimate only — your state agency decides. The finder above is already set to Florida. Your approval notice from the Department of Children and Families is the final word on your day.
In Florida, SNAP benefits are deposited between the 1st and the 28th of every month. Your exact day comes from the 8th and 9th digits of your case number — two digits sitting in the middle of the number, not at the end. That trips people up: most states use the last digits, but Florida uses the 8th and 9th. Count carefully, and use the case number on your approval notice, not your EBT card number.
Not a government site. This is an independent guide. We never ask for your full case number, your Social Security number, your card number, or your PIN — only the 8th and 9th digits of your case number, which is all the Florida schedule needs.
The Florida schedule
Florida pays on a 28-day spread. The 8th and 9th digits of your case number decide your day:
| Digits 8–9 | Deposit day |
|---|---|
| 00–03 | 1st |
| 04–06 | 2nd |
| 07–10 | 3rd |
| 11–13 | 4th |
| 14–17 | 5th |
| 18–20 | 6th |
| 21–24 | 7th |
| 25–27 | 8th |
| 28–31 | 9th |
| 32–34 | 10th |
| 35–38 | 11th |
| 39–41 | 12th |
| 42–45 | 13th |
| 46–48 | 14th |
| 49–53 | 15th |
| 54–57 | 16th |
| 58–60 | 17th |
| 61–64 | 18th |
| 65–67 | 19th |
| 68–71 | 20th |
| 72–74 | 21st |
| 75–78 | 22nd |
| 79–81 | 23rd |
| 82–85 | 24th |
| 86–88 | 25th |
| 89–92 | 26th |
| 93–95 | 27th |
| 96–99 | 28th |
To find your two digits, take your case number and count from the left: the 8th and 9th digits are the ones that matter. For example, in the case number 12345674289, the 8th and 9th digits are 42 — which means a deposit on the 13th.
Worked example
A household in Miami has a case number whose 8th and 9th digits are 42. Florida pays on the 13th for case numbers with 42–45 in those two digits. So their deposit arrives on the 13th of every month — November 13, December 13, and so on. If the 13th has already passed this month, the next deposit is on the 13th of next month.
Your Florida benefits — the practical bits
Your deposit is loaded on your day even if that day is a weekend or a holiday. Florida does not delay for Saturdays, Sundays, or state holidays. If your day is the 13th and the 13th is a Sunday, the money is on your EBT card on Sunday.
Your first month is the exception. When you are first approved, your benefits are prorated from the date you applied, and they may arrive on a different day from your regular schedule. After that first month, your regular day takes over and stays the same.
If your benefits do not arrive on your day, check three things in this order: your balance, your recertification date, and whether the Department of Children and Families is waiting on a document from you. The full checklist is on what to do when SNAP benefits are late or missing.
To manage your case — check your balance, report a change, upload a document, or renew — use ACCESS Florida, the state’s official portal. For questions about your EBT card itself, including a lost or stolen card, call 1-888-356-3281.

Frequently asked questions
Which digits of my case number do I use?
The 8th and 9th digits, counting from the left. Most states use the last digits — Florida is different. In the case number 12345674289, the 8th and 9th digits are 42, which means a deposit on the 13th.
Do Florida SNAP benefits arrive on the same day every month?
Yes, for ongoing cases. Your day comes from the 8th and 9th digits of your case number and does not change month to month. The only change is your first month, when benefits are prorated from your application date.
What if my deposit day is a weekend or holiday?
It still arrives that day. Florida loads EBT benefits on schedule even on weekends and holidays.
My benefits didn’t arrive on my usual day. What first?
Check your balance on ACCESS Florida or by calling 1-888-356-3281 — the money may have arrived and been spent, or a transaction may have gone through that you forgot. Then check whether your recertification is due or the department is waiting on paperwork. Full checklist →
Can I check my EBT balance here?
No. We cannot see your case or your balance. Check it on ACCESS Florida, by calling 1-888-356-3281, or on your last store receipt. Never give your card number or PIN to a website that offers to check it for you.
